Welcome To Gboard Clipboard, Any Text You Copy Will Be Saved Here

The message “Welcome to Gboard clipboard, any text you copy will be saved here” is a standard notification shown when you first access the clipboard feature in Gboard (Google Keyboard) on Android.


🔍 What It Means:

  • Gboard Clipboard allows you to store copied text (like messages, links, etc.) temporarily.

  • When you copy something (long-press → Copy), Gboard saves it here so you can paste it later.

  • It may also suggest clipboard snippets when you’re typing.


🧾 How It Works:

  • To access: Open Gboard → Tap the clipboard icon (usually near the top row).

  • It will say: “Welcome to Gboard clipboard, any text you copy will be saved here.”

  • You can pin copied items so they don’t expire after 1 hour.


📌 Tips:

  • Pin important clips by tapping the pin icon next to them.

  • Delete clipboard items by long-pressing and tapping the trash can.

  • Turn clipboard on/off via: Gboard Settings > Clipboard > Enable/Disable
