Apple Beta Releases

Hi all,
I'm having problems with universal clipboard ever since installing iOS 16 beta on my iPhone. My Mac is not on the beta.
I can copy text on my Mac and paste it on my iPhone without a problem. However it's not working the other way around.
If I copy something on the iPhone, it is not available to paste on the Mac.
Any ideas? Anyone else seeing this?
Dave

Don't assume that Apple is aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference - submitting bug reports directly to the company helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. Your report may provide crucial information. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority they give to fixing the bug.

If you're using a beta version, use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you're using a public release, follow the instructions on this page.

I have both iPhone and a Mac on a beta. The problem you describe happens to me, but instead of not working` alltogether, it has an incredible delay like 20 seconds.

I’ve been experiencing this for a little while and I’m on Monterey and iOS 15. I often copy and paste from the iPhone to my Mac, but it’s not been working reliably for a while.
