When I use Handoff (for example copying from MAC to iPhone or iPad), instead of pasting the Text, it pastes a File, like the image below

Unable to handoff from iPhone X to MacBook Air My iPhone X (IOS13.5.1) cannot use handoff features with MacBook Air M1. For example, I used to be able to continue typing (it can’t work anymore since morning) in notes if I started my essay on MacBook and handoff to IPhone. However, I can no longer do it anymore + it cannot go the other way round (iPhone ->MacBook). Apps include :notes, message , safari and etc. Similar problem occur on Universal Clipboard, where I can copy from MacBook and paste it in my iPhone, but not the other way round.

Copy Paste between MacBook Pro and iPhone XR I am unable to copy text from MacBook Pro and paste to iPhone XR. However I am able to copy text from my iPhone XR and paste it in my MacBook Pro. Normally both devices should allow copy and paste between each other. I have tried switching on/off the Handoff in the MacBook and iPhone settings along with restart of both. I also have the same Apple ID, wifi and bluetooth on both. Can anybody provide directions to fix this problem.

handoff has problem when copy and paste text between MacBook and iPhone After I upgrade my MacBook to Catalina, I found out my iPhone (IOS 12.2) can't paste text which copied from MacBook. After I clean installed the latest version of IOS (13.1.2), the handoff still partially not working. For example, my MacBook can receive calls or messages that were sent to my iPhone. Also copy text from iPhone and paste to MacBook works totally fine. However, it just won't work if I copy text from MacBook and then paste it to iPhone. Whenever I tried to paste text to iPhone from MacBook, iPhone will first freeze a few seconds, and then won't come out the paste option. I have both devices on the same Wifi network, and both have bluetooth on. It just started to work abnormal after I upgraded to Catalina. If anyone has a solution please help. Thanks a million
