Doesn't work #8

Saw this post this morning and it made me check for myself if I still had clipboard remnants even though I had this installed.

I enabled the Samsung provided Edge Panel to show clipboard history and I was shocked to see an enormous amount of entries going back to far to remember. I had notifications enabled in Clipeus so it would wipe the clipboard automatically, but even initiating it directly does nothing. There were links, and passwords there that made my gut sink.

I am using an up to date Samsung Galaxy S22+.
I use Gboard as my keyboard, but I have it blocked from internet access using Netguard.
I can't say I understand how the Android clipboard system works, but I had a real false sense of security using this program.

Is this a technological issue, or is this a bug in the program?
