SOLVED Handoff issue

[Rayman31]

Hi everybody,

I had recently an issue with iOS applications notifications, I am not getting them, for WhatsApp, Viber, outlook and other applications.
I have tried ti reset network settings but still same issue. No, I am having issue with Handoff not working.
MacBook Pro : Catalina 10.15.5
iPhone 11 : iOS 13.5.1

I have tried do deactivate and activate handoff on iPhone but same issue.
Both iPhone and MBP are on the same network.

Regards

Hello,

There are a few requirements for Handoff to work:

-Both devices signed in to the same Apple ID
-Both on the same Wi-Fi network
-Both have Bluetooth enabled
-Same app on both devices - mainly only works with Apple applications, but some third-party apps are Handoff-enabled
-Make sure Handoff is enabled on both devices

Continuity: System requirements for Continuity on Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch
iPhone/iOS: Hand off tasks between iPhone and your Mac
Mac: Pick up where you left off with Handoff on Mac

See if any of that helps,

C

Hello,

Many thanks for the help and reply.

Actually it was working fine for me as I said, it just stopped working after resetting network connections on iPhone.
I will cross check again the requirements and let you know.
Mainly I am using Safari for continuity.
Both devices are on same network and bluetooth ON, both signed on iCloud.

Many thanks
Regards

Good morning,

I have checked all the requirements and they look OK.
What I have noticed, it looks like there is a problem with iCloud.
When logging out from iCloud on my iPhone and logging in again, I am supposed to get a code for two factors identification on my MBP, but I am not receiving that??? FYI, my MBP is connected to iCloud.
Strange? a network problem?

Best regards

Hi again,

One more thing stranger, when I did not get two factor identification code, I am supposed to use Choose number option on the iPhone and get a code through messages, but I am not getting also and I can sign in directly to iCloud on my iPhone without entering any code?

What if I save my iPhone and try to reset it then backup?

Best regards

Hi,

Handoff is working now by itself. I did not do any update for both MacOs and iOS.
I don't know what was the the problem and how it is solved in a sudden.

Hmmm...that is strange. Glad it is resolved though.

Chalk another one up to computer voodoo.
