Works in WhatsApp, iMessage, Instagram, Gmail, Telegram, X, anywhere you type. PastePro is also a full keyboard, so you don't have to keep switching back to the Apple keyboard to type. Type and paste from the same place. A few extras people love: - Burst Messages — send the same message 50 times in a row. Great for waking up a friend who won't reply, or wishing someone happy birthday in style. - Emoji Art — type a word like HI or LOVE and it comes out as a big picture made of emojis. Fun for birthdays, confessions, and chaos in group chats. - Quick Access — one-tap shortcuts for the things you send most: home address, email, phone number, signature. - Categories — keep work snippets and personal snippets separate.
