How to fix Universal Clipboard not working after iOS 26.1 update?

I am writing to report an issue that started occurring after I updated my iPhone to iOS 26.1. Since the update, I am no longer able to paste anything on my iPhone that I copied from my iPad or Mac. However, copying from my iPhone and pasting it to my iPad or Mac still works normally.


This problem is very disruptive, as one of the main reasons I use Apple products is the convenience and seamless experience of the Apple ecosystem—especially features like Universal Clipboard. Losing this functionality significantly affects my workflow.


I kindly request your assistance in resolving this issue. Please advise if there are any steps I can take to fix it, or if this is a known bug that will be addressed in an upcoming update.

Thank you for your attention and support.
