Handoff iPhone SE 2nd gen. iOS 16.1.1

Hi cjrnest,

Try restarting both devices which can clear out issues like this with fresh connections:

• Restart your iPhone - Apple Support
• Restart your iPad - Apple Support

1. Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power-off slider appears.

2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.

3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button (on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo.

If Handoff is still not working like you expect, reach out to Apple directly, as they can help investigate the behavior. You can use the following link to reach out: Get Support

Take care.
