You copy a text on your phone to paste elsewhere, where does it save?

Question

More importantly, how does a phone remember it for so long and not forget?

In: Technology

Answer 1

Smartphones, like computers, have a short term memory program. In Windows it’s called the “clipboard”. It’s basically a note page that holds whatever you’ve copied and it’s saved like any note you would ordinarily create. On phones there may be a set time until the file deletes, 10 minutes, 1 hour, etc. Traditional computers will hold that info until you copy another piece of info.
