How to change Copy/Paste message duration?

I have this problem too (1)

This has been driving me crazy - whenever I copy a piece of text, a popup message appears, overlaying whatever I'm copying from or pasting to, saying "Copied. You can paste here or on your connected device".

This popup hangs around for 10 seconds, which doesn't sound like a long time, but seems like forever when you're trying to use copy/paste to log in to an app or website and the popup is obscuring the entry field and sign-in button.

 

Is there any way to reduce the duration (e.g. to 5 secs)?

Or to make the popup semi-transparent?

Hi there, @DaveLorde. I'm not sure why the popup message is staying on your display for about 10 seconds. When I've tested this, it's only stayed there for about 3 seconds. 

Do you normally utilise the "Continue apps on other devices" feature (described below in the guide from Samsung US)?:

Hi @PaulM1. Yes I do use "Continue apps on other devices", but turning it off makes no difference (even after restarting).

I thought there might be a developer option to tweak UI message duration, but I couldn't see one.

Same here!! It is making me crazy.  I've watched 3 videos now about "annoying settings to fix" and nothing on this.  I want to scream every time I have to copy/paste something.  It stays right over where I need to type covering it for easily full 10 seconds!!!

I can't believe no info on how to kill this "feature."

Help us!

Mine covers where I need to be typing & stays a full - long - 10 seconds.  My biggest gripe about this phone.

Hi there, @DaveLorde and @SM6784. I haven't been able to replicate this myself, as the "copied" message only shows for about 3 seconds. On which apps are you encountering this, please?

It's so unbelievable annoying. I want to be able to turn it off completely.

Not sure if you figured it out or it was the same issue, I was having.  But this worked for me:

go to Settings > Accessability > Advanced Setting > Time to take Action

I've been living with it but dropped back here for something else and saw your message - which sorted it for me!

For some reason my Time to Take Action setting was set to 10 secs instead of the default... (why?). Changing it made me happy again 😉
Thanks!
