Universal Clipboard through Handoff not working

I want to copy and paste text from my Mac to my iPhone.

Same Apple ID is on both. Tried turning off all settings needed, Wifi, Bluetooth, and Handoff itself.

Yet, nothing. Please help!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.0

Hi!

Here to help!

Let's see. Continuity > Universal clipboard.

Use Universal Clipboard to copy and paste between your Apple devices - Apple Support

Q:

did it work before? Yes, then: when did it stop working?
iOS version & MacOS version:
Try a different (known-good) network:
Try with a different user with same apple ID on Mac (to exclude apps like VPN, AV, MDM, Blockers etc) >  > System settings > users and groups

Try these steps, let me know if more help is needed!

Kind regards

Thanks
