How can I detect pasted text on iPhone with JS?

I'm working on a cross-platform website where the UI will change based on user input. One such change is that each time a certain input is filled, either by typing or copy-pasting, it will reveal a hidden input. The problem? Getting it to work on iPhone.

Currently I am successfully detecting copy-pastes on desktops (primarily using onKeyUp). And much to my dismay I discovered that onPaste doesn't get the job done. So that's why I'm here. Is there any kind of jQuery magic that can save this?

});
