Apple Developing Cross-Device Copy and Paste Between iPhones and Windows PCs

Analysed 4 Aug 2026·4 sources analysed·India·Technology
Apple Developing Cross-Device Copy and Paste Between iPhones and Windows PCsPreviousNext

Apple is developing a new feature to enable cross-device copy and paste between iPhones and Windows PCs, following a request from Microsoft under the European Union's Digital Markets Act. This interoperability would allow users to copy content on one device and paste it on the other, similar to Apple's existing Universal Clipboard within its ecosystem. The feature is still under development and may not be available until late 2027, with possible initial rollout limited to the EU region.
