iOS apps are repeatedly reading clipboard data, which can include all sorts of sensitive information.
A novel feature Apple added provides a banner warning every time an app reads clipboard contents.
As large numbers of people began testing the beta release, they quickly came to appreciate just how many apps engage in the practice and just how often they do it.
This YouTube video, which has racked up more than 87,000 views since it was posted on Tuesday, shows a small sample of the apps triggering the new warning.
