I have copied things to my clipboard but where do I find that on my phone

Where is my clipboard found on my phone. I have saved things on clipboard but don't know where to find it?

Welcome to Android Central! The clipboard is typically not viewable, and the contents are very temporary. If you copy something to the clipboard, then copy something else to the clipboard, the first thing you copied will disappear.

The easiest way to see what's in your clipboard is to go to any kind of text box (like a new note in Google Keep), long-press the text entry area, and then tap Paste.

Welcome to Android Central. :)

The Clipboard is not directly viewable, as B. Diddy has said above. You can get things out of it, by long-pressing an area of the screen when texting, for example, and then pasting something saved to Clipboard, but you can't see into it directly.

The "clipboard" is also on the Samsung keyboard, which I last used in 1973, and re-discovered the setting today. darn.
(4.4 anyway)

Hello. See the other posts. Did you mean to ask a related question. If you want to get a last saved clip back, try to long press on a note or other text app and 'paste'.
If you have a Samsung several more may have been saved for now.
For future use, try installing the Clipper app.
