Three months and counting.... Still no fix but we have new emojis. :(

Universal Clipboard works fine...
  • iPhone 7+ <--> iPad mini 2
  • iPad mini 2 <--> Mid-2015 MacBook Pro
  • iPhone 7+ --> Mid-2015 MacBook Pro
....however, it does not work:
  • Mid-2015 MacBook Pro --> iPhone 7+
Running iOS 10.2 (current), and macOS 10.12.2.

I contacted AppleCare about it and was told their engineers are "actively investigating," and that any further information regarding this issue will be disclosed as a software update and/or knowledge base article. --I'm assuming this means, "It's a bug...we know...we're sorry...we'll fix it."

Ok, it's a know bug.
Has anyone tried with the newest iOS beta?

It sometimes works between my iPad (air 2) and phone (7 plus). But it doesn't work for **** with my iMac. If I'm lucky my phone will get the pasting loading wheel pop up thing coming from my computer, but that will never ever end with a successful paste.

Hi, since you also have a problem with your AirPods connecting to your iMac, maybe there's a problem with it's connection to iCloud. Does Handoff or the iCloud Drive work ok on the iMac? Have you tried logging out of iCloud and back in?

Handoff, iCloud Drive, and AirDrop work perfectly across all my devices. I don't wanna log out of iCloud, feels like to much hassle for little gain.

I am able to use UC on all of. my devices in any direction with no hanging or delays. It is a great feature and I use it all of the time

I have an iPhone 7, iPad Pro 12.9" and a mid 2015 rMBP

Running 10.2.1 and 10.12.3, now UC doesn't work at all between iOS devices and MBP. Contacted AppleCare, they said they were going to "re-escalate" it to Apple engineering. :shrug:

All devices are signed in with the same Apple/iCloud ID, two-step turned on, etc.

Snap. I haven't had iCloud/Handoff/Continuity issues in years but since 10.12.3 Universal Clipboard is completely broken for me.

After more troubleshooting it appears my issues are AirPods-related. When I'm using AirPods with my iMac or MacBook Pro, Universal Clipboard simply will not work. Without AirPods, it works just fine.
