Where to Find the Clipboard on Meizu M8c

A clipboard is an area of memory that temporarily stores data that you want to copy somewhere. The function is convenient, useful, and therefore implemented in all modern operating systems, including Android. The problem is that on Windows all this is easy to find and use, and in Windows 11 even appeared a separate application for the clipboard, but on Android, everything is far from obvious.

For example, the clipboard in the Meizu M8c is built into the keyboard, from where you can access the copied text. But there is no clipboard for images and files as such. Although it would be more correct to say that there is one, it is just not available for an ordinary user and works at the system level, allowing to copy files.

Where to find the clipboard on your keyboard

To find the clipboard in Meizu M8c you need to:

1. Оpen the keyboard. The easiest way to do this is to go to the browser or «Notes».

2. Оpen the keyboard and look for an icon that looks like a form.
3. Click on it and the «Clipboard» opens to us. All the messages you copied are saved here.
4. For convenience, you can pin the desired message by clicking on the pin icon.

How to clear clipboard in Meizu M8c

If you constantly use your clipboard, it will start to get clogged. Note that all modern smartphones have a function to automatically clear the buffer after some time, usually 30 minutes. But this cleaning does not apply to pinned messages, and sometimes you don’t want to wait 30 minutes. Therefore, for cleaning, follow the instructions:

1. Open the keyboard.
2. Click on the icon that looks like a form.
3. From the clipboard, simply «Swipe» the unwanted message.
4. If you suddenly swipe away the desired message, then you will have time to return it.

Where is clipboard data stored?

At the beginning, we mentioned that there is a buffer for pictures, videos, and other files. All this data is stored in the path: «Android» - «Data» - «Clipboard». This is a system path, which means that you will not have access to it until you get root privileges. That is, as we have already said, you do not have access to the file clipboard, you can only interact with text.

This applies to all applications in general. Even if you use a third-party buffer, for example, downloaded from Google Play, it will still only interact with text. So don't fall for the deceptive adverts of apps in the market, none of them can create a full Windows clipboard for you.

What should I do if I don't have a clipboard?

Let's face it, this situation is very unlikely. You either did not complete any step in our instructions, or you did not fully understand your smartphone. However, if you are 100% sure that you do not have a buffer, and you need one, then just download a substitute buffer from Google Play and use it. Many people recommend «Clipper - Clipboard Manager», as it is free, convenient, and fast.
