Is the “Link you copied” feature in new tab of iOS google chrome one of these?

As well as the “Address you copied” iOS Google Maps search field feature?

I don't use any Google apps so I don't know, but even if I did, it's such a minuscule amount of effort that's being saved by having a custom prompt when the generic path is so easy.
It's tricky; little things like this may not seem like much, but in aggregate they can be quite frustrating to users. Personally, this is something I do often enough that it noticeably reduces friction for me so I live with it because it's very convenient.

However, it seems like there should still be a way to provide nearly as much convenience to users while still protecting their privacy.
