Q: iOS 9.2.1 on 6s update shut down handoff

I am new to iPhone 6s and have was thrilled when my iPhone magically started grabbing web pages from my Macbook Pro. I didn't even have to set up anything; it all just worked. Then, when I updated the latest iOS, the magic stopped. I have read miles of frustrated users and threads and can not seem to resolve this. If it all worked, and now it doesn't it has to be the iOS upgrade. When I try and connect devices with bluetooth I get the same messages as all the other complaints about network not available, and not close enough to the device (umm, they are 1 ft apart).

 

Is there a patch coming? Is there a fix that doesn't involved an hour of time finding and deleting stuff, and rebooting 30 times? Makes no sense to me.

 

Thanks in advance

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.2.1

    Hello Michael Guthrie1,

     

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

     

    From your question, it sounds like the feature you have been using to view Safari webpages across your device is no longer functioning as expected. This is called iCloud Tabs. 

     

    If I am correct in my assessment, the following article explains how this feature works and how to make sure it is set up correctly. 

     

    Set up and use iCloud Tabs - Apple Support

     

    Cheers!

    As I have read in other forums from others with a similar issue, this resolved itself, and honestly not sure why or how. Thank you for the response. I had found that information previously, but it didn't resolve the mystery at the time.
