Steps to reproduce
- Have a clipboard on Android that is able to contain screenshots (i.e: G-Board)
- Take a screenshot, and verify that it is on the clipboard.
- In a note, open the clipboard and select the desired image.
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]
Yes.
Expected result
Screenshot to be pasted into the file, much like it’s done in desktop.
Actual result
The picture is not pasted on the note. Pop-up message appears: “Obsidian does not support image pasting here.”

Additional information
Meanwhile I attach the screenshots to the note through the “Insert Attachment” command, but pasting them directly would be more efficient. I attached a screenshot of the message that is displayed when I try to paste screenshots from the clipboard.
My device saves screenshots as .png files.
This problem is not unique to Obsidian, but I some apps do let me paste images into notes, i.e Google Keep.
