Cloud clipboard syncing can help you save time for text
entry, and it comes in handy especially if you're in the habit of switching
between your PC and mobile device. With SwiftKey Beta version 7.8.5.3,
duplicating your copied text across all your devices can feel like a breeze.
If you want to try it out, you must have the latest version
of SwiftKey Beta and sign in to your Microsoft account (it won't work with your
Microsoft work email account or Gmail). To enable the feature on the best
Android phones, you can simply head over to the app's settings, tap "Rich
input," and choose "Clipboard".
Then, you can toggle the option to "sync clipboard
history to the cloud". The same feature has long been available to Samsung
Galaxy S20 and S21 owners through the Your Phone app.
In addition, it's important to enable the feature on your
Windows PC by opening the Settings and clicking the Clipboard section. From
there, you must turn on the "Clipboard history" and "Sync across
devices" options. To view your copied text, you can press the Windows key
and V at the same time.
The feature retains your clipboard history only for an hour
(except for pinned texts) and only the last copied clip will appear on the
prediction bar in the SwiftKey app.
If you're worried about your privacy, Microsoft noted that
your clipboard data is encrypted and won't be linked to your Microsoft account.
You can download the updated SwiftKey Beta from the Play Store and give it a
try, although there's no word yet about its stable channel release.
