Universal Control

I have a M1 macbook pro and an Intel macbook pro. Universal control works for a minute, then disconnects and isn't able to reconnect no matter what I do. I have enven logged out of icloud and re-logged in...nothing fixes this. It's hard to believe a feature that has been out as long as this is still so buggy.

Why does Universal Control frequently disconnect between M1 Mac and M4 MacBook Air? When I am connected and working between the Mac and Macbook Air, it frequently disconnected and the Mac will not respond to a mouse and the macbook air only responds to a touch pad change. Sometime even the Air will not respond to even a touch gesture. This goes on sometimes for several minutes until it finally reconnects. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Universal Control not working between Macs but work with iPad Pro Universal Control has been fickle at best. Sometimes it works for days and currently it doesn't work at all between my M1 iMac and Intel MacBook Pro but does between my iMac and iPad Pro. All my settings are turned on, I'm on the same band on my wifi, I've restarted, turned off, etc. everything and nothing is working. I've never had a feature so fickle. Apple Support even got to a point they want me to reinstall my OS on my MacBook Pro which basically means "we have no idea". Any ideas?

Universal Control Issues I know this has been brought up in the past, but is anyone else still having issues with Universal Control? For me it tends to work better between iPad and Mac, but Mac-to-Mac seems to break often. In order to get it to work again I have to try a variety of things on both devices; such as, restarting, turning Universal Control off and back on, turning iCloud/Handoff on and off, toggling the firewall settings, and more. Eventually it works, but it will sporadically stop working after some time (no pattern to it). I've tried many different combinations of settings with no luck. If anyone has any ideas why this happens or if you're seeing these issues too, I'd be happy to learn of a more permanent fix. I have a feeling this is something that Apple may need to address in a software update. Seeing as this feature is no longer listed as "beta" in the settings (and enabled by default) I would think it would work, especially on devices that are only a couple of years old (2020 and 2021). The main devices I use are both MacBook Pros; one Intel and one M1. It's possible that it has issues between the two different chipsets, so if anyone can test with M1-to-M1, Intel-to-Intel, or M1-to-Intel, I'd appreciate it. This could help isolate any hardware inconsistencies. Thank you!

On the primary device, go to network settings - firewall - options. Remove the Universal Control incoming connection (yes, delete it). Click ok, then restart the primary device. This worked for me yesterday after having the same issues with a MacBook Air and an M1 iPad Pro and it hasn't dropped since.

I’m sorry. It can definitely be a pain. Best of luck!
