Handoff is working one way only on iPhone and iPad

Handoff only works one way.

If I open app, eg. Mail or Safari, on iPhone I see it on iPad, but if I open app on iPad I do not see it on iPhone.

I have an iPad mini 4 and an iPhone SE 2022.

I have handoff and Bluetooth turned on on both devices.

Any advice gratefully received!

Thanks for reply, and sorry for delay in responding but have been unwell.

Interestingly, have just installed latest software updates on both devices and handoff is now working both ways again!

So all seems good now.

Thanks very much for your time.

Hello Jet631,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.


To ensure that we're covering all of our bases, be please sure to check the following details when using hand off tasks between your devices:


• "You’re signed in with the same Apple ID on both devices.

• On your iPhone and on another iOS or iPadOS device, you’ve turned on Wi-FiBluetooth, and Handoff.

• Your devices are within Bluetooth range of one another (about 33 feet or 10 meters).

• Each device has the minimum relevant software version installed: iOS 10, iPadOS 13, macOS 10.10, watchOS 1.0, or later.

• Be sure your devices are running the latest compatible versions of iOS. Secure your data with a backup before proceeding: Update your iPhone or iPad"
