I was evaluating ntfy as a short of clipboard-sharing / link-sharing mechanism between my Linux devices and my iPhone. Everything was going well until I hit the wall of not being able to copy the notification text on my iPhone.

I am so sorry about this. I really want to work on this and it should be easy, but it wasn't simple to do when I released the initial version of the app. I will eventually get to it, but right now I have some personal things that take priority.

Try tapping the text and see if it copied it. I mayy have left the "copy text" feature in there without giving any visual indication that it actually copied it. iOS doesn't have "Toast" messages like Android. I'm not 100% sure if I left the code for that in the app though.

Tapping the text does indeed copy it.

Just had a check -- can confirm, it's copying, just not showing popup message the same way Android app shows the toast. It's a bit confusing, but it's nice to know copying silently works via this issue :)

Can confirm silent copy works on my iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14.4.1.
But the copy is not consistent sometimes doesn't work, will be better if some copy indicator (toast) will show if possible or a copy button. Thanks.

Confirming that "Silent Copy" still works on app version 1.3 (4) and iOS 17.3.1 with a 13 Pro Max

Would be great if one could also copy the topic name (I checked if a [long] tap copied it but no luck..)

I've been using the IOS PWA app which works really well. However the same 'click to copy' behavior does not exist.

Would it be difficult to add a 'copy' button to each notification that can trigger a copy to clipboard?
