COMPOSING & WRITING

Clipboard

The Songs app’s clipboard works with the stand-alone version of Rhyme Genie. It allows you to save a history of search words and corresponding rhyme mates that you have collected in Rhyme Genie’s clipboard.

iOS 16 displays a dialog to ask for permission to paste content from another app. Allow the Songs app and Rhyme Genie to 'Paste from Other Apps' in the iOS 'Settings' app. (Note: This option only appears for apps that have previously asked for permission to paste content.)
