Seems the reported problem is a new “feature” in the version released on Dec 16. Just found one iPad mini 4, which was not updated yet - it started to read the clipboard as well after the update to the latest Windy version (iPadOS 14.2).

@ivo just tested the same scenario on two devices (iPhone 6s and iPad Pro 3rd gen, both iOS/iPadOS 14.2), both devices display the message. Repro, in brief:

• remove Windy, install Windy
• open Safari, select some text, tap ‘copy’ in the pop-up menu
• switch to Windy (by cmd-tab on iPad, home button double click on iPhone)
• the message appears
• log in with my account
• loop to ‘open Safari’ (the message appears again also when logged in)

Every time I switch to Windy and there is something new in my clipboard, Windy reads it.

I would consider this at least dubious, if not a privacy invasion. I expect an app to read my clipboard after my explicit action (keyboard shortcut, clicking a button).
