Handoff is a feature that allows seamless transitions between your Mac and iPhone. If it isn’t working, follow these steps to troubleshoot the issue.
Step 1: Check ClipboardSharingEnabled Configuration #
Check the current configuration for ClipboardSharingEnabled using the command below.
Check the return value of this in your terminal:
defaults read ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.coreservices.useractivityd.plist ClipboardSharingEnabled
If the value is 0, enable clipboard sharing with this command.
defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.coreservices.useractivityd.plist ClipboardSharingEnabled 1
Step 2: Restart the UserActivity Daemon #
To apply the changes, restart the useractivityd process using this command:
killall useractivityd
After making these changes, the Handoff feature should start working again!
