Clipboard copies formatted text, which stops the ability to paste inside the main Messages. #2090

All mobile OS disables text formats to be copied within the clipboard, that's because SMS doesn't support html content. Please look into this, because I can't copy to Messages until I unformat it, which is a tedious process.

I wouldn't be able to copy text from my Facebook Messenger -at the browser- to the Messages App -for sim card-. The paste option won't be visible. Although, I am able to do that if I copy text from Notes onto the Messages App.

The mainly presumed reason for that is because the text is only able to be copied into the clipboard as long as it's unformatted. The clipboard in this case has either issues with encoding or with its mark up language whatsoever.

The other assumption is as follows: The clipboard actually copies the text, but formatted and it keeps it that way. While the Messages App is unable to input formatted text, so the clipboard option won't show paste as available.

@jindiggs Can you Paste your clipboard when using the extended keyboard ( long press on space key, then tap on the paste icon ) while on messaging app or elsewhere ?

I have just tested again, and the problem is no longer there !! Both with touch paste and keyboard as you said.

I have no clue as to why it happened to me a few days ago ..

yes clipboard does not seems to work every time. At least with the keyboard it appears to be more stable
