Universal Clipboard not working

I tried all the recommended fixes: same software version on all devices, handoff enabled on all devices, resetting handoff settings with restarts, confirmed Bluetooth on and all devices on same Wifi network. I ultimately got it to work by signing out of iCloud on all devices and resigning in on all devices. It appears that new signings security protocls were keeping handoff from working properly. Everything is working properly now for me, Good luck!

[ SOLVED ]

I've done everything , but nothing happened.

So I've restarted my iPhone 6s and the Universal Clipboard worked like a charm ! 🙂

For me it helped to restart iPhone and turn Bluetooth & Wifi Off and back On...

Use Continuity to connect your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch - Apple Support

Set up Universal Clipboard

Use Universal Clipboard with any Mac, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that meets the Continuity system requirements. It works when your devices are near each other and set up as follows:

• Each device is signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID.
• Each device has Bluetooth turned on.
• Each device has Wi-Fi turned on.
• Each device has Handoff turned on:
  • On Mac, choose Apple menu () > System Preferences, then click General. Select “Allow Handoff between this Mac and your iCloud devices.”
  • On iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > General > Handoff, then turn on Handoff.

I got it to work by connecting my iPhone to my Mac via the Bluetooth menu in System Preferences. I could even remove the connection afterwards and it continued to function.

Among other efforts, turning off Avast Web Shield seems to have fixed it!!

I have a Mid-2012 MacBook Pro and iPhone 7 Plus and recently experienced this issue.

• I rebooted my iPhone with no change.
• I rebooted my MacBook and the issue was resolved.

H3RC.

What worked for me was turning off (not just disconnecting) the Bluetooth headphones I was using with my iPhone then:

1. Test cut/copy/paste between iPhone and Mac. ✅
2. Turn on headphones and wait for them to connect to iPhone.✅
3. Test cut/copy/paste between iPhone and Mac.✅

I came here with the same issue. Using iOS 11 and High Sierra..

Restarted my iPhone and BAM! now it's working 😮

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem or a suggestion for change. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem/suggested change solved sooner.

I can confirm that handoff has not been working for me for over 2 weeks. Apple Watch Auto Unlock also isn't working when bluetooth on the iPhone is ON. So its a strange dilemma.... I want continuity to work, which requires bluetooth on... but if bluetooth on iPhone is ON, apple watch unlock doesn't work. But even if bluetooth is turned on and the handoff settings are enabled... it doesn't help at all, copy and paste gone.... sad face

Thanks, this worked for me. I had my device(s) “forget this device” (AirPods) and then had to reboot my iPad Pro and iPhone 8 Plus, in order to have the fix work. I think it’s ridiculous that we have to do this extra step, but hopefully an upcoming update will fix this.

Yep that did it for me too. Why is a restart the last thing I thought of? Must be 'cos it's a Mac not a PC

I've tried all the suggestions in this article and all the ones I've been able to find in Google searches, which are basically same suggestions as here, and unable to get this to work with a mid-2015 macbook pro on Sierra and an iphone 7plus on latest iOS. Disappointing

Correct network settings , good network speed is must , no anti virus installation , third party unwanted apps must be avoided in the computer that will create only problems .

I am not sure is there any malware or what could be the issue , Etrecheck is a finest software that could find out what is running in the system , and prefer Malware - Bytes Anti Malware for Mac .

And don't change date and time settings , no read and write permissions must be altered .
