Signature in Preview using iPhone

Question

Signature in Preview using iPhone

I have MBA Big Sur 11.2.1 and iphone iOS14.4. I cannot get the iphone to bring up the signature pad when I am using Preview on my MBA to create a new signature. I select create new signature, iphone, and then wait. I've tried it on the same wifi, connected/paired via bluetooth, and without bluetooth. My camera and trackpad both work to create new signatures on the MBA, but nothing happens after selecting the iphone method in Preview and then unlocking my iphone and being at the home screen. Am I missing something?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2

Hi there johnnyfromdavis,

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

It sounds like you need help with creating a signature using your iPhone. We're happy to assist.

Please follow section "Create and use signatures" here: Fill out and sign PDF forms in Preview on Mac

If you're continuing to experience the same thing, make sure your iPhone and Mac meet the System requirements for Continuity on Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch.

More information is here: Use iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch to sketch in or mark up Mac documents

Have a great day!

Doesn't help. As explained in detail in my original query, I have done everything stated in that link (before posting my question). I've also explicitly indicated what hardware/software I'm using. They all meet the requirements. It just does not work. Nothing shows up on my iphone once I select create signatures, iphone, on my Mac preview program and then unlock my iphone and stay on the home screen. Nothing.

How exactly do I get help for this specific topic? Using the link, there is NO selection for Preview or signatures...
