This stops working for me every few weeks. It turns out it's called "handoff/handover/universal clipboard" (useful to know if you ever want to google it), and it needs both wifi and bluetooth enabled on both devices (and both devices connected to the same network). If it stops working, sometimes just rebooting the Mac works, but if not, turn off both wifi and bluetooth on both phone and Mac, reboot both, turn back on; repeat any or all of these steps if they don't work the first time. This has always worked for me eventually, but it's very irritating.

I solved this by shutting down my Mac and starting up. Never had to do this before.
Oh, that's interesting. The "it needs wifi" was one of the things I read when I googled it, and it seemed reasonable so I never questioned it! Maybe it's the bluetooth that's buggy then. Wouldn't be the first time.
So is the handoff working now?

All working as it should thanks Jocelyn.
Although I had to look handoff up. I'd heard of it but never used it, unless copying and pasting is classed as handoff. So I opened a web page on the Mac and was able to continue reading on the iPhone. You learn something new everday!! Old dog and new tricks.
I don't have wifi, but it still works. Thanks for your input, interesting to know.
👍
