Okay so TikTok is grabbing the contents of my clipboard every 1-3 keystrokes.
The company said it has updated its app to remove this functionality from the iOS version.
Theupdated version of TikTokis already live on the App Store.
For TikTok, this was triggered by a feature designed to identify repetitive, spammy behavior.
TikTok is committed to protecting users privacy and being transparent about how our app works.
They noticed that several apps including TikTok were able to get into the clipboard without users permission.
Back then, TikTok had promised to stop its app from reading users clipboards within a few weeks.
TikTok is just one of the few apps that reads clipboard data, according to the Telegraph report.
