# Clip source: System Share

When copy is awkward, use the **system Share sheet** to hand content to the app as a new clip.

## Typical flow

1. Tap **Share** in the source app.  
2. Pick **this app’s icon or name** in the share sheet (wording varies by OS language). If a share extension appears, follow the system prompts.  
3. Confirm the new row appears in clip history.

## Platform notes

Share UX varies by OS; on **iOS** it is often part of capture paths without continuous background listening—see [Platform differences](/advanced/platform-differences) and [iOS overview](/advanced/ios/).
