Frequently Asked Questions for Copy 'Em for iPhone & iPad
Q: Why Copy ’Em can’t record the item I copied from another app unless I open the app?
Due to iOS/iPadOS security restrictions, Copy 'Em for iPhone & iPad can only access the clipboard and save its data when the app is active (that is, open on the screen). When it is off screen, it is unable to see your copied data. So to save your copied data, you need to switch to the app and let it save it for you. If you have multiple items to copy and save, you need to repeat that for each item. On iPad, this is easier: If you open the app side by side with another app, then Copy 'Em will be able to record everything you copy from the other app for you, without you switching to it each time.

Note that you can also share data directly to the app through the share sheet, without switching to the app.
