> And for the love of god can somebody PLEASE make cross-device copy-paste? The amount of fb/whatsapp/email I send just to copy a link from my laptop to my phone or vice-versa is silly.

As it happens, my free Android app SSHelper has a bidirectional clipboard server, very easy to use:

You open a browser on the desktop, enter the address of the phone on your local wireless network, and you have a two-way clipboard exchange with the phone.

My app is free, there are no ads, and it's not a shareware-get-the-pro-version deal. It's exactly what it sounds like -- a useful, free app.

In fairness, my app isn't the only Android app that provides a clipboard gateway, but it's the only one that doesn't have ads or some other restriction.

Alas, I am on iOS. And while a shared clipboard app is a great improvement, I would prefer this in the OS itself. Use the normal copy feature, and Cmd+V has that thing on my laptop.

Wait ... you want a mobile device clipboard feature to communicate with a laptop, but be integrated in the OS? Which OS -- the device, or the laptop?

Any laptop? Without any setup or permissions?

People who write programs can get pretty close to what you want, but not quite as you describe it.

Both OS's. I want to tell my laptop "this is me" and tell my phone "this is me" (say by using the same iCloud account or whatever) and then they just have the same clipboard. When I copy something on laptop, I can paste on all my devices, and vice-versa.

I don't write for either end of the Apple platform (at least at present -- I once did many years ago), so I can't create this, but I hope someone does -- it's an obviously good idea. All you IOS developers out there listen up. :)

As for Android, I've already done it -- it's part of my free app SSHelper:

What do you mean by "in the OS itself"?

I actually use PushBullet for that. I see a Imgur photo on Reddit that I want to send to a friend, click the Pushbullet extension and it comes as a push notification to my phone.
