I am unable to copy and paste stuff from my iPhone to my Mac, however I can from my Mac to my iPhone. This is frustrating as I have an authenticator I use for a dozen or so work applications and I miss being able to copy from my phone to Mac. Yes I have tried to disable and re-enable handoff on both devices, rebooted, nada.

I have the same issue with the new Big Sur update V11.2.1 except that I can’t copy paste nothing across my Apple devices (iPhone, iPad and MacBook) this small Details are really a Productivity Killer... hope they fix it soon.

Hey, Feature! I was also facing the same problem. Moreover I couldn't scan a document from my iPhone and import to my MacBook right away using the feature in desktop. Both issues disappeared after restarting both of my devices, unfortunately it still helps to solve some problem :)

Same here. Cant use Universal Clipboard and it feels like im back to stone age... Chatted with Apple support twice and they can't fix it.

@Stoke83 is right, follow his recommendation - it worked for me: Sign out your icloud in your mac > restart mac > Sign in again.
on your iphone, uncheck the "Handoff" in Settings > General > Airplay and handoff the restart your iphone > then enable it again.

worked like before. Hope this helps

I was able to copy from MacBook Pro (MacOS Big Sur 11.5.1) to iPhone (iOS 14.6) but not the other way around. The solution posted by repicheep05 (Open Bluetooth and pair it with iPhone) worked for me.

Over a year later, still the same issue. Apple is really going downhill, fast
