There is an Ask [for permission to paste] / Allow [paste] / Deny [paste] - Paste from Other Apps -type of function for pasting a copied URL address into the URL address field of Brave Browser (iOS).
I have the selection set to Ask. The Paste from Other Apps selector switch steps:
When pasting into the URL address field, a small pop-up would display - with my setting (Ask) giving me the choice to Allow or Cancel / Deny . . . 20250712: I now have a screenshot of the type of prompt that is supposed to appear - borrowed from using Vivaldi:
In the Brave Browser (iOS) case, “Brave” would like to paste from “Vivaldi” ← That choice is now missing in action at the BB iOS URL address field activity.
Toggling between the selections (screenshot above), complete Quit of BB app, “forced” / “hard” Restart of iPhone ← did not fix the issue.
How can this issue be reproduced?
Expected result:
Brave Version( check About Brave):
BB (iOS) 1.79 (124)
Mobile Device details
Apple iPhone 14; iOS v18.5
Additional Information:
Brave Browser - Private Browsing Only - Standard Browsing . . . problem exists for both.
What does display, are a choice of “Paste” or “AutoFill” . . . and there is a panel of Favorites.
Sorry for missing this thread initially.
Just to make sure I understand correctly, you’re saying that even with the Ask option enabled in Settings, trying to paste copied content from another application into Brave does not display the notification you’d expect to see (where it asks for your permission to perform the action, as shown in your Vivaldi screenshot) – correct?
However it does work if you copy/paste content from Brave into another browser/app.
And . . . if pasting into another application URL address field, like Vivaldi’s, the “Don’t Allow Paste / Allow Paste” does correctly display (<-- is how I was able to take that screenshot). So, the iOS setting is working, but is not “respected” by BB (iOS).
