I got a new iPad Pro yesterday and got an iPhone X in the summer. I have watched every YouTube video and article that exists on tips and tricks but have yet to see the one I have just accidentally discovered. I was messing about in Notes, moving notes between folders. I copied something on my iPad, then picked up my phone to do something and ‘paste from iPad’ came up. Just had a play and it appears that copying on one device and pasting into another is now possible!
Another handy thing I discovered - I use OneDrive and Word on my iPad all the time. When opening a file in Word from OneDrive, it can be hard to see the file you want as the name doesn’t show fully and they you can’t alter how they are sorted (I like most recent to be at the top). However, if you have Word and One drive open side by side, you can sort for most recent in Onedrive, and when you touch the file, it magically opens in Word. No need to drag and drop.
Anyone else like to share their hints and tips?

The copy/paste between devices sounds darn handy.
I’ll just add my reverence for the simple yet effective trick of hitting the space bar twice after a sentence and a period magically appears.
I also could not not live without the dictation feature. I have that generational inability to text fast or accurately with my thumbs/finger (and I use a tiny iPhone SE by preference) and I daresay my dictating ability is lightyears faster than the youngsters’ thumb ability. I also dictate into Notes, Reminders and Calendar...and often posts here, actually. I do it so often I sometimes feel the urge to speak Punctuation in normal conversation...

Ever try to click on something in text to edit and you have to delete a whole line...
Click on the line you want to edt (anywhere) Hold down the space bar and you can move the bar where you want it to go.
Clearing open windows? Hold down the 2 squares top right corner, Click close all tabs.

When using the calculator, there's no backspace button if you type the wrong number. You have to hit clear which erases the whole number. Instead of hitting clear, slowly swipe the numbers displayed (either direction). They will back off 1 by 1.
