Handoff not working between Mac and iPhone/iPad
Handoff requires all your devices to be signed into the same iCloud account, have Bluetooth and WiFi on, and be close to each other. Check your iCloud sign-in first, then turn off Bluetooth and WiFi and turn them back on. This fixes it for most people.
Handoff is a feature that lets you start something on one Apple device and finish it on another. When it doesn't work, your devices aren't signed into the same iCloud account or Bluetooth and WiFi aren't fully connected. We'll check your sign-in, restart your connections, and enable Handoff in settings.
Fix-IT-Bot will walk you through each step — just tap, no typing needed.
