Hello Samsung Community,
I'm writing to highlight a significant privacy issue with the Samsung Keyboard's clipboard functionality on my device (Galaxy S21 FE 5G).
Even though I've set Gboard as my default keyboard, any text or screenshots I copy are automatically saved to the Samsung Keyboard's internal clipboard. This happens without any explicit user consent, and critically, there is no option to disable this auto-saving feature or even to fully disable the Samsung Keyboard itself (the "Disable" option in App Info is grayed out).
This situation poses a serious privacy risk. Sensitive information, once copied, is automatically stored without my control, creating a potential data vulnerability.
I believe users should have the ability to:
 * Completely disable the Samsung Keyboard's clipboard functionality when an alternative keyboard is set as default.
 * Prevent the automatic saving of copied content to the Samsung Keyboard's clipboard.
 * Easily and permanently clear clipboard history with an option to stop future automatic saving.
Could the Samsung team please look into this and provide a software update that addresses these privacy concerns by giving users more control over the Samsung Keyboard's clipboard? Your attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
