Copy&Paste doesn't work across my iPhone and MacBook

Can't copy and paste from my iPhone to my MacBook or in reverse, I have already tried turning on and off the handoff in the settings and even logging out and logging again into Icloud. iPhone has the latest update - IOS 26.6 and MacOS is Tahoe 26.6.1. It seems that the problem has started a coaple of months ago and even after updates is still persissting. All the previus recommendation back from 2024 community Q&A didn't seem to have any effect at all.

You may wish to review this Apple guidance for using Handoff:

Use Handoff to continue tasks on your other Apple devices - Apple Support

❝ Make sure that your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on. ❞

Start a task on one device

On your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch, open an app that works with Handoff and is also installed on your other device. Apps that work with Handoff include Calendar, Clock, Contacts, FaceTime, Freeform, Keynote, Mail, Maps, News, Notes, Numbers, Pages, Reminders, Safari, Stocks, and many third-party apps.
Then use the app to start a task, such as viewing a webpage or writing an email or document.
Keep the app open and in front, then continue the task on your other device.

Continue the task on your other device
