Clipboard on Samsung phones or tablets, as other Android devices, stores some text and screenshots (in case you enable it) that you have copied and allow you to paste it anywhere else on your Samsung device. For example, the text you liked on a website without any character restrictions can be easily copied and pasted to another place with the help of the clipboard. Even though it is not that necessary for the text formats, it is for the screenshot formats because it saves more time when it is compared with sending the screenshots by using Gallery instead of Clipboard.
In this post, we will show you how to find the clipboard on your Samsung devices which will consist of two options and two other tips to enhance the clipboard experience on your Samsung device.
All of the finding clipboard on Samsung devices options are available for some Samsung phones and tablets which can be exemplified by the A Series (A12, A13, A53, A34, A52, A03S, A02, A70, A71, A50, A51, A90), S Series (S8, S8+, S9, S9+, S10, S10E, S10 Plus, S20, S20+, S20 Ultra, S21, S21+, S21 Ultra, S21 FE, S22, S22+, S22 Ultra, S23, S23+, S23 Ultra), Note Series (Note 9, Note 10, Note 10+, Note 20, Note 20 Ultra), Z Series (Z Fold, Z Flip, Z Fold2, Z Flip 3, Z Fold3, Z Flip4, Z Fold4), Tab Series (Tab S4, Tab Active Pro, Tab S5E, Tab S6, Tab S6 Lite, Tab S7, Tab S7+, Tab A8, Tab S8, Tab S8+).

How to Find Clipboard from Keyboard on Samsung
For the first option, you should open your Keyboard on a Samsung phone or tablet in order to find the clipboard within. If you do now know how to, one possible way is that you may open Samsung Notes and tap on the note to open the keyboard.
Texts, links, or many things that have been recently copied from a place can be seen on the top of the keyboard. However, it is just restricted to some or even one text or anything like that. By following the path below, you will see all the copied texts, links, and screenshots (as long as you enable the feature) on your clipboard of Samsung's keyboard.
Before giving more information and how to reach the clipboard on Samsung, you should be aware of the fact that your keyboard needs to be Samsung's default keyboard in order to see the clipboard without any error. In order to set the keyboard as Samsung's default keyboard, follow the steps below:
- Go to Settings and search for the keyboard in Search Box.
- Tap on Keyboard List and Default search result under the General Management heading.
- Tap on Keyboard List and Default again on the next menu.
- After that, tap on Default Keyboard.
- Ultimately, select Samsung Keyboard.
As it is aforementioned, after you open the Keyboard, you should find and tap on three-horizontal-dots ⋯ on the keyboard that is exactly at the top right of Samsung's default keyboard.
On the layout menu, you should see Clipboard on the right. The place might vary according to the layout order of your Samsung phone or tablet. In such a case, search for the Clipboard either on the first, second, or any other page.
At this stage, you can hold and drag the Clipboard to the Frequently Used panel on the keyboard which generally consists of emojis, settings, drawing to text, microphone, search and so more.
Once you find Clipboard, tap on it to see all the copied texts, links, screenshots and so many things on that particular Samsung device.
Since we do not have any copied texts on that particular Samsung device, it says No Items. However, all the copied texts and screenshots will appear in Clipboard on your Samsung device.
How to Find Clipboard from Edge Panel on Samsung
Apart from the keyboard, you can also reach Clipboard from Edge Panel on your Samsung phone or tablet. As you can see from the picture below, Edge Panel is the panel you can see by holding and dragging the line to the left as long as you enable it from Settings which offers some shortcuts not only a shortcut for the clipboard.
In case you have not enabled Edge Panel yet on your Samsung device, you can enable it by following the steps below.
Firstly, you should open Settings from your Samsung phone or tablet.
Within Settings, find and tap on Display.
Within the Display menu, you should find the Edge Panel subheading and switch on the button next to Edge Panel to enable it.
Alternatively, you can directly search for Edge Panel with the help of the Search Box in Settings and enable it by switching on the button next to Edge Panel.
This is enough for Edge Panel to appear on the right of your Samsung screen, however, not enough for Clipboard to appear within it. Apart from the Edge Panel, you should enable Clipboard Panel in Edge Panel as well.
For this directly tap on Edge Panel from the same menu instead of switching on the button.
Within the Edge Panel menu, tap on Panels to add default panels to your Samsung devices which includes Clipboard Panel.
Within Panels, tick Clipboard. With that final thing, you can access Clipboard from your Edge Panel on your Samsung device.
Just hold and drag to the left from the relevant place to activate Edge Panel and find Clipboard by swiping left and right on the Edge Panel. Since we have activated the "Screenshots on Clipboard" feature, you can see screenshots on the Clipboard as well from the picture below.
