The Reddit app has been caught snooping on users' clipboard content.
It is the latest in a series of apps to be caught copying data from the clipboard.
Reddit says that the behavior is unintended and will be removed in an update.


Yet another app has been caught snooping on users' clipboard contents in the iOS 14 beta.

Twitter user DonCubed, who also reported the same behavior with the LinkedIn app, found that the Reddit app was copying the contents of a user's clipboard on every keystroke.
