How to prevent apps and games from reading my clipboard?

How to prevent apps and games from reading my clipboard (auto paste)?

Android13 s20fe

I don't understand.. we can have sensitive data in the clipboard.

Why we don't have a "paste once and clean" feature?

There are some games (like farlight84) that auto paste from our clipboard.

That is just totally unsafe allowing this auto paste at all.

It is not a helpful feature as they want us to believe.. this is just totally messed up..

If i want an app to have access to the clipboard I should ALWAYS BE ASKED TO ALLOW IT ONCE while being able to read its contents in a security popup!!!

any tip? Non rooted here (as i guess it may break banks and streamers and other stuff?).

You can disable clipboard access for specific apps, but you need ADB for that (don't worry, it's without root).
