Handoff/Continuity Not Working With Multiple Users

I have multiple users on my MacBook Pro, when the second user logs into the Mac handoff/continuity stop working all together. The only way to get it working again is to log out of iCloud on my Mac account and re-login, but this only lasts until the second user logs in again. Then from that point onwards it doesn't work at all, regardless of if that user is logged out, machine is restarted, etc etc.

Anyone else experienced this? Any solution?

If user A does not log out when user B logs in, this is known as fast user switching.

Do you experience the same issue(s) when user A logs out before user B logs in? ie: not fast user switching.

I have exactly the same issue, handoff and unlock with Apple Watch works until the second user logs into the Mac.

Log off and then log in my iCloud account fix the issue but once the second user log in, unlock with watch and handoff stop working.

My iPhone still receiving handoff from Mac, but Mac doesn’t receiving any IPhone activity.

I’ve tried several workaround found here none of them solved the issue.

Only log of / log in my iCloud account on Mac fix temporarily this issue, until the second user log his session.

Found this ... it seams that it’s a long time issue that is not fixed ...

maybe linked to the switch of iCloud account between users.
