How Clipboard Data Is Stored and Deleted on Your OPPO Smartphone (Using Gboard)
⏳ How Long Does Clipboard Data Stay on Gboard?
By default, Gboard saves clipboard items for up to 1 hour. After that, the copied content is automatically deleted from the clipboard.
This behaviour is designed to:
Protect your privacy (especially when copying sensitive data like passwords or OTPs)
Prevent unnecessary storage of old clipboard items
Keep the clipboard clean and up-to-date
🔐 What If You Pin Clipboard Items?
Gboard allows you to pin specific clipboard items so they don’t get deleted after the 1-hour limit.
How to Pin an Item:
Tap on the clipboard icon in Gboard
Long-press the item you want to keep
Tap Pin
Pinned items will remain in your clipboard history until you manually remove them.
🧹 How to Manually Delete Clipboard Content
To remove any clipboard entry manually:
Open Gboard
Tap the clipboard icon
Long-press the item and tap Delete
