iPhone has recently detected that the video-sharing platform TikTok is accessing the content on the device's clipboard. The recent feature added on the iOS 14 beta notifies users when an installed app is reading the last copied text in the smartphone's clipboard. A video on Twitter uploaded by user Jeremy Burge reveals that even when it is running on the background, TikTok can check his iPhone's clipboard every few keystrokes.

According to the report from Forbes, TikTok has submitted a newer version of the app to the App Store to solve it. The representative also shared that it is an anti-spam feature from the app that triggers the notification banner from the iOS 14. iOS users are advised to update their TikTok app once the update is made available in the App Store. We're pretty sure that you're already familiar with Tiktok -- an app that lets you upload 15-60 seconds clips of cringe-worthy lip-syncing, acting, and awkward dance routines.
