The iPad clipboard is the memory feature that enables you to store small amounts of data for a short period of time in order to copy or move the content. When you use the Copy and Paste feature, data that you copy is stored to the clipboard until you paste it into a second location. With the iPad clipboard, you can select text, copy the text, then paste the text in another document or application. You can also use the iPad clipboard to copy and paste photos and videos from one location or app to another.
