Last updated:July 15, 2026

This FAQ covers 3 common questions about Copy, Paste, and Cut in WPS on iOS, mainly around editing mode, clipboard status, and cross-app content behavior, plus a short glossary.

FAQ

Why can't I copy or paste text?

  1. Make sure the document is already in editing mode.
  2. Check whether text has been selected or whether the cursor is placed in an editable position.
  3. If the action still does not work, close the document, reopen it, and try again.
  4. If the content comes from another app, check whether the system clipboard currently contains usable content.

Why can't content copied from another app be pasted normally?

  1. Confirm that the copied content comes from an app or page that allows copying.
  2. Check whether the content includes images, special formatting, or restricted objects.
  3. If you need more stable insertion for images or complex content, save the content locally first and then insert it.

Why does an image copied from a webpage appear incorrectly after pasting?

  1. Confirm that the copied object is an actual image rather than a webpage link or code fragment.
  2. If the pasted result looks incorrect, save the image locally first.
  3. Then insert the image through the document's image insertion method for a more stable result.
