I noticed that two radio apps I use are pasting from the clipboard every time I open them...any reason why? That’s really fishy.
 
You need to...

1. Check settings to see what kind of permissions you granted
2. Check the app and developer website to try and ascertain why that may be occurring. Contact developer and inquire
 
Which ones? And how can you tell they are doing that.

I’d probably delete them...

There’s no way to control whatapps access the clipboard yet, so no settings to check for that.

part of iOS 14 is that it will tell you when an app accesses the clipboard.

Check out the stories about TikTok & LinkedIn accessing clipboard recently for examples.

There are many apps discovered that are doing it.
