First time I've installed Sierra a couple of months ago, I tried the universal clipboard with my iPhone 6. It worked immediately like a charm and since I used it, I found this feature really useful for many use-cases.
Unfortunately, this feature doesn't work anymore after I upgraded from a 2 year old iPhone 6 to a new iPhone 7 Plus.
I know what I need for that feature to work (as it used to work fine):
- Both devices are connected with my iCloud account (same Apple ID)
- Bluetooth and Wifi are turned ON on both devices
- Both devices are connected to the same Wifi network
- Both devices are next to each other (less than 1 meter).
- iMAC 10.12.3 (16D32)
- iPhone 7 IOS 10.3
Both iMac and iPhone have been rebooted a couple of times.
No text, no URL, no picture can be copied & pasted from one device to the other anymore.
Any thought what could be wrong with the new iPhone 7?

Turn continuity (=handoff) on for both devices, and also make sure they are logged into the same iCloud account.
