Continuity Camera ONLY works with wired connection

I have been using the continuity camera feature from my Iphone 15 pro on to my Macbook Pro 14 M3 2023


It worked perfectly fine wirelessly.


I don't know if updating the devices had something to do with it, but ever since then, I could not connect wirelessly, and it is frustrating.


When I disconnect the phone while it is using the continuity camera wired, it doesn't work and goes black


Computer doesn't recognize the phone in handoff anymore, either which is weird.


I tried EVERYTHING


  • Bluetooth and wifi on, on both devices and connected to the same network
  • Continuity and Handoff are turned on on both devices
  • No VPN
  • Adding apps for desired use in Privacy > Bluetooth
  • Deselecting "automatically select camera" on desired apps
  • Reset network settings
  • Restarting both devices multiple times
  • Being signed in to the same Apple ID
  • Updated to the latest version


If anyone has a solution to this, I'd greatly appreciate the help ASAP
