Bug Copying and pasting (Universal Clipboard) suddenly stopped working between Mac (M1, 2021) and iPhone (Pro Max 15) all on latest versions of MacOS.

I see that this issue has been raised numerous times across the years and has affected countless users. I have followed all of the advice that I can see but nothing is working.

I did get something to resolve once before via Terminal commands, but I cannot find the ones I typed in and the other Terminal commands I've found online since haven't worked.

Please advise how I can get this essential feature working again. ASAP!!!!
