Universal clipboard not working from Macbook to iPhone

Hello everyone,


I am using Macbook Pro 2013 with macOS Mojave (10.14.6) and iPhone 11 Pro with iOS 13.3.1


Universal clipboard is not working when copying from Macbook and paste on iPhone BUT it is working when I copy text on iPhone and paste it on Macbook.


I tried several guides, turning on/off wifi, bluetooth, handoff on both mac and iPhone, restarting both devices, deleting bluetooth content in library but nothing helped.


I recently updated iPhone to latest 13.3.1 version. Can this cause the issue? Or anyone else experiencing same issue?


Thanks for responses

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 13

I can say it is not a perfect science. In other words I have seen it work sometimes, sometimes not—with no clear understanding.


My best advise is reboot the Mac, restart the iDevice and try again.
