Cannot Copy and paste from WhatsApp and Messages app into Calendar after iOS 27

After updating to IOS 27, what I have copied from WhatsApp and Messages can no longer be pasted into the Apple Calendar app.


After copying and switched to Calendar app, it shows what is to be pasted. After I clicked it, it just won't be pasted.


This issue should affect everyone right?


Please help.

It is not clear from your post exactly what you are trying to copy and paste from WhatsApp or Messages into the Calendar app.


Could you please clarify what you are attempting to transfer—is it plain text, an event, a date/time, a location, an image, or some other type of content?


Also, please mention which calendar account you are using with the Calendar app. For example, is it iCloud, Google, Outlook/Microsoft, Yahoo, AOL, or another calendar service?


These details are important because the behaviour can differ depending on the type of content being copied and the calendar account or service being used.


Without this information, I cannot accurately understand or reproduce the issue on my own device. If you provide the exact steps you are following, along with the type of content and calendar account involved, I can try to replicate the same scenario and determine whether it is expected behaviour or a bug.

Not every issue an individual encounters on their device can be attributed to an iOS update. iOS 27 or later may have coincided with what you are experiencing, but that does not mean the issue was triggered by iOS. Coincidence in timing is not, by itself, evidence of causation.


If the update itself were the root cause, then every device running that same version of iOS would exhibit the identical problem. In such a scenario, the forums would be flooded with countless posts reporting the same malfunction, creating an unmistakable wave of complaints that no one could possibly overlook.


The absence of such widespread reports strongly indicates that the issue is not a general, system-wide problem with iOS 27 or later, but rather something specific to the individual device, its configuration, installed apps, settings, hardware, or another interacting factor.


In short: iOS 27 or later may be a coincidence in timing, but there is no basis to conclude that iOS itself triggered the problem simply because the issue appeared after the update.



Hi, sorry for not replying earlier. I was not alerted to any reply to my question.

1) It's plain text in Apple Calendar app or plain text in SMS message app.

2) Calendar account is iCloud account. Just click an Apple Calendar entry, copy and then try to paste. It won't paste 9/10 times. Not sure why it works rarely like 1 out of 10 times when I paste.

als ik een bericht in whatsapp kopieert en die ik in de agenda van mijn iphone wil zetten lukt dat niet ik heb op dit moment ik gebruik ios 27.0.1 en ik heb een nieuwe iphone 18 Pro
