How to Use Clipboard History in Windows 10
Windows clipboard history got a major overhaul with the Windows 10 October update.
You may not know it, but Windows 10 now supports the ability to sync its clipboard with other operating systems, like Android. Using SwiftKey — a popular virtual keyboard app for Android — you can sync your clipboard between your Windows 10 PC and your phone. Find out more below.
How clipboard sync works
What does “syncing” the clipboard between Windows and Android mean? Imagine you just copied a text on your Android device, now you can go to your PC and press Ctrl + V to paste the exact same content into the Word window open on Windows - super convenient. Overall, this can save you a lot of time in certain situations.
Enable Clipboard Sync on Windows 10
To get started, you'll need to enable clipboard syncing on your Windows PC. Navigate to Settings > System > Clipboard . Click the toggle switch below the " Sync Across Devices " option to enable the feature.

Also on this Clipboard settings page, scroll down a bit further and click on the “ Automatically sync text that I copy ” option. This will ensure that the syncing process will happen completely automatically without you having to do anything else.

Enable Clipboard Sync on Android
Now, switch to your Android device and open the SwiftKey app. At the time of writing in early August 2021, this feature is only available as a beta version. Download it from the Play Store and open the app once installed.

You will be asked to set SwiftKey Beta as your default keyboard app.

Next, you’ll need to sign in to SwiftKey with the same Microsoft account you use on your Windows PC. Tap “ Account ” at the top of the Settings menu.

Then, select “ Sign in with Microsoft ”. (Clipboard syncing does not work with Google accounts).

Once signed in, go back to the SwiftKey Settings page and select “ Rich Input ”.

Next, go to the “ Clipboard ” section.

Now, enable the “ Sync Clipboard History ” feature.

You will be asked to sign in to your Microsoft account again for verification. Click “ OK ” to complete.

That's it. From now on, any text you copy on Android will be available in your Windows clipboard, and vice versa, any text you copy on Windows will be available in your Android clipboard. Enjoy!
