		As described in the title. The iOS app reproduces this behavior every time it boots up. Observed on iOS 14.

It is trying to see if you have a URL in the clipboard to ask if you want to save.

Apollo (the best reddit app) also does this. It's looking to see if you have a reddit link, and if you do it asks if you want to open it.
