I'm on MacOS Monterey and iOS 16.4.1 (both up to date), where copy-and-paste from my iPhone to MacOS is not working. Steps to debug include restarting bluetooth on each device; try pasting into different apps, try selecting/copying the text from the iPhone again, repeat debugging steps. No luck.
Is there a bug in the new revision of iOS that is preventing this operation? How can we fix this?

Hi all,
I have faced the same issue and I've just managed to fix it by myself.
Except for having on all devices Handoff option Enabled you will need to run a command in your mac Terminal app.
Here are the steps:
defaults delete ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.coreservices.useractivityd.plist ClipboardSharingEnabled
defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.coreservices.useractivityd.plist ClipboardSharingEnabled 1
For me, it worked.(iOS 17.2 & macOS Sonoma 14.2)
I hope this helps!

Thank you It was just the fix i was looking for.
It Worked !!
Thanks, it works for me.
2024 Feb update: this worked! Thank you 🙏
for me - bluetooth was turned off on the MAC without realising, quick fix..
Labachev, you're a lifesaver!! The defaults delete / write for the clipboard sharing worked! (macOS12.7.2)
This finally fixed it, I'm so happy I could I cry! :)
This works!! Thank you.
