Which devices did you try this on?

I tried on Samsung s9+.

Did you verify the paste option only fails to show up only if multiline is set to true? Does it work fine when multiline is false?

[jahicDario]

Yes, everything works fine when the multiline is not set to true for TextInput component.

I am using Redmi 6 with android version 8.1.0 It does not allow pasting as well when multiline is set to true

For me it doesn't work even when multiline is set to false.
iOS works fine with both multiline options.
