Copy on iPhone and paste on Mac is not working

Check Universal Clipboard requirements: compatible devices nearby, the same Apple Account, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Handoff enabled.

By RJ Computers

Quick answer

Check Universal Clipboard requirements: compatible devices nearby, the same Apple Account, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Handoff enabled.

Understand the issue

Test with harmless plain text instead of a password or confidential document. Copied content is available for a limited period and can be replaced by a later copy action. Avoid switching accounts as an initial experiment because that can affect other synced information.

Step-by-step checks

  1. Confirm both devices meet Apple's requirements.
  2. Check connectivity and Handoff on each device.
  3. Copy a short test phrase and promptly paste it on the other device.
