Just upgraded to the 15 Pro and now universal clipboard via Handoff is not working

I had an iPhone 12 Pro running ios 17.x, and a Macbook running Sonoma. I could copy text on my Macbook and paste it into an app on my iPhone usually without issue. About once a week it would fail, then I would signout of iCloud on both devices, sign back in, reboot both devices and then it would work.

Today I upgraded to the iPhone 15 Pro and it wouldn't work. I tried the process above, still doesn't work.

Before, when I would click into a text field on the iphone and then clicked one more time, I would get a "Paste" prompt and all was good. Now it only says "Autofill".

How do I turn this back on? I use this functionality a LOT.

It's fixed now. Had to upgrade to Sonoma 14.01 and that did it. So the problem must've been in Sonoma 14.0.

Make sure that both devices are set up correctly.

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

Set up Universal Clipboard

Use Universal Clipboard with any Mac, iPhone, or iPad that meets the Continuity system requirements. It works when your devices are near each other and set up as follows:

Each device is signed in with the same Apple ID.
Each device has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on.
Each device has Handoff turned on.
