Hi @fractalshine, did you try selecting text and pasting it into AppFlowy? For example, you can copy the link from the browser and paste it.

We tested copying from Telegram to Telegram, and it doesn’t work, so it looks like the issue is on their side. Could you try copying the text from another app to check?

As I have outlined above, the identical text integrates flawlessly into other applications; however, it fails to do so within AppFlowy. Furthermore, text acquired from the camera during QR code scanning similarly cannot be pasted into AppFlowy, an impediment I have not observed with other applications.

Based on your video, pasting from Telegram doesn't work, but if you paste the text into another application and then copy and paste it again, it does work, right?

The app works well now. I don't have any problems pasting text from Telegram and Google Camera QR reader anymore. It works just like it should so far.
