Copying and pasting content on Android devices has always been a straightforward process. You highlight the desired content, press and hold, choose the destination, and then paste. However, the process is about to get even smoother with Android 14, especially when it comes to copying and pasting between different apps.
This particular feature has been put to the test in the Android 14 beta version. While the traditional copy-paste method remains, this new approach is being introduced as an additional option, promising greater convenience.
So, what’s the method? According to insights from Tom’s Guide, here’s a breakdown of the steps involved:
Step 1: Press, Hold, and Drag
Begin by pressing and holding the content you want to copy. Then, drag the selected item away from its original position. As you do this, a translucent preview of the content will appear, allowing you to move it around freely.
Step 2: Switch to Another App
Using a different finger, navigate to the second app where you wish to paste the copied element. You can access the recent apps screen or return to the home screen and open the target app. Remember to continue holding down the copied content.
Step 3: Precisely Place the Copied Content
Now, carefully position the copied item within the desired location in the second app. Alternatively, you can tap the specific spot where you intend to paste the content before releasing it, ensuring accurate placement.
It’s important to note that this feature is currently part of the Android 14 beta version. As a result, there might be refinements or alterations before the official release.
