A user recently found TikTok was accessing the clipboard on their device after the new operating system displayed a notification at the top of the screen.
Both platforms said they would change the code in their apps that automatically copy clipboard information stored on people's phones after Apple's iOS update sheds light on the practice.
这两个平台都表示,在 Apple 的 iOS 更新揭示了这种做法后,他们将更改应用程序中的代码,这些代码会自动复制存储在人们手机上的剪贴板信息。
A video shared on Twitter shows a user typing a comment in the app and every few seconds a banner alert appears, letting him know that TikTok has accessed his clipboard.
The notification feature is set to roll out with the new operating system later this year, but early adopters have spotted a number of apps quietly accessing clipboards, including TikTok, LinkedIn and Reddit.
