How to Copy Text on iPhone and Paste on Mac (and vice versa)

By Aayush
An extraordinary feature of the Apple ecosystem, resulting from the efficient integration between iCloud devices, is the practicality of being able to copy the text on your iPhone and paste it on your Mac — or vice versa: the opposite can also be done, copying from your computer and pasting it on your cell phone. Interesting, no?

This can be done with texts copied from websites, received messages, notes, phone numbers, codes, and even image files, such as photos and screenshots.
