LinkedIn’s iPad app was spotted copying clipboard contents from other apps

Linkedin plans to stop its app from repeatedly copying the contents of an iOS device’s clipboard. A user highlighted the seemingly privacy-invasive practice earlier this week.

The app copies clipboard contents in order to perform an’equality check’ between what a user is typing and what’s in their clipboard.’we do n’t store or transmit the clipboard contents,’ says LinkedIn engineering VP erran Berger.

A new privacy feature in iOS 14 is currently in a limited beta for developers. The operating system now notifies users when an app copies something from another app or device. This has led to people spotting questionable behavior from apps that appear to copy clipboard contents with every keystroke.

Linkedin was called out in a tweet from a person who said LinkedIn’s iPad app was copying contents from other sources, such as a notes app. A LinkedIn spokesperson pointed the verge to the tweet when asked for comment.

Tiktok said the behavior was part of an’anti-spam’ feature and that it would discontinue the practice.
