1 Handoff
Handoff is an Apple Continuity feature that works across its various platforms and is meant to make performing tasks across your Apple ecosystem easier and more seamless in native applications. Here’s how to enable it.
- Ensure you have two or more iOS, watchOS, or macOS devices that are logged into the same Apple ID, and are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Macs must have at least OS X Yosemite 10.10 installed, and you’ll need an iPhone 5 or iPad 4 or newer, for example.
- Launch Settings.
- Tap General > then Handoff.
- Toggle Handoff On.
When Handoff is enabled, and you’re using a native Apple applications like Messages or Mail, you can pick up where you left off on another Apple device.
For example: start an email in Mail on your Mac, and you should see a Mail icon in the bottom-left corner of your Lock screen on your iPhone (as long as the email account is enabled in Mail on both devices). Tap on that, swipe up, authenticate, and you’ll be able to finish writing your email right on your iPhone. This works vice-versa (as well as on iPad) too.
