I had an unwelcome surprise while playing in online game yesterday and in the chat window. Without me making any effort to copy and paste, some very personal data was pasted and posted into the chat window. That information was from a Word App document.
No "paste" bubble/command appeared, it simply auto pasted into the chat forum and unfortunately included my full name, address, phone number and medical information. A couple of days prior, I had found part of an email in my chat window which at that point only I could see. I was able to delete that. So that message auto pasted but did not autopost.
I immediately closed the Word App, but the same thing happened again. I went back into Word and opened a new document and typed some jibberish on it. Went back to the game and tried to chat. The autopasting and autoposting continued, but at least just with jibberish.
I thought this was a game bug, but the same thing happened in an email I was writing today. Which makes me believe this is an IOS bug. I just did the latest update last night and it is continuing to happen. I have an IPad 4.
What can I do about this? I might not always remember to create a phony "jibberish" doc after using the copy/paste function. Scary thing to have your personal data divulged through no effort of your own.
Please help!
