Handoff not working iOS 13!

Just got an Apple Watch and I’ve noticed handoff isn’t working with it or my 2018 iMac (I think it’s a 23”.) I’m on iOS 13.1, iPhone 8.

watchOS 8.4.1 issue with Handoff Since upgrading my Apple Watch Series 6 to watchOS 8.4.1, when I get a phone call and answer it on my iPhone, my Apple Watch continues ringing for as long as seven seconds before its display notes that Handoff was completed. In other words, as I'm starting a conversation on my iPhone, my Apple Watch continues ringing in the background, right next to both my ear and the iPhone speaker. ("No, sorry, that's my Apple Watch, unaware that we've been on the phone for five seconds already...") Anyone else having this issue?

Apple Watch Handoff Not Working Hello, I have the following Apple devices: Apple Watch (1st generation) - watchOS 4.3.2 iPhone 5s - iOS 12.4.2 iMac - macOS 10.15 iPad Pro (2nd generation) - iPadOS 13.1.2 iPod touch (7th generation) - iOS 13.1.2 Handoff works from my Apple Watch to my iPhone. I cannot get Handoff to work from my Apple Watch to my other Apple devices. I have verified the following: Bluetooth is enabled Handoff is enabled Signed in with the same Apple ID I have performed the following: Clean install of the system software on my iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Macintosh Restarted all of my Apple devices I also receive an error when attempting to enable Auto Unlock on the Mac stating that it cannot find my Apple Watch. Am I missing something? It seems that my Apple Watch is not communicating correctly to iCloud even though there is no sign that this is the case. Thanks!

Apple Watch & myChevrolet app myChevrolet app works fine as long as my iPhone is nearby, otherwise I get an image of a phone with a red line through it. My watch is connected to my mobile phone service so that I can make and receive calls. Any suggestions?

I have the same issue, my device is iPhone 8p. The problem is that I can copy from my iPhone to my Mac or iPad, but it doesn't work if I copy from Mac or iPad to my iPhone. Mac and iPad are the newest os system, and handoff work fine between them. I meet many bug in iPhone 8p when I update to iOS13, like AirPods issue and screen issue

I had to log off from my Apple ID on my phone last month.

After I finished setting it up, I had some sync issues with iCloud, so I logged off and on and it worked.

Did you mean from the iPad also? I haven’t tried that. Might be worth a try

Hi, checked the Apple ID - as I wrote above: it is the same on both devices

Hi, made it now working again. What was the solution?

Despite the fact that the Apple ID was the same on both devices a log off from and logon with same Apple ID on the iPad made it working again.
