Hand off tasks between iPhone and your other devices
With Handoff, you can start something on one device (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or Apple Watch) and then pick it up on another right where you left off. For example, you can start answering an email on your iPhone, then finish it in Mail on your Mac. You can use Handoff with many Apple apps—for example, Calendar, Contacts, and Safari. Some third-party apps may also work with Handoff.
Before you begin
To hand off tasks between iPhone and another device, make sure of the following:
You’re signed in with the same Apple ID on both devices.
Your devices are connected to Wi-Fi.
Your devices are within Bluetooth range of one another (about 33 feet or 10 meters).
On your Mac, Handoff is turned on in System Preferences > General, and Bluetooth is turned on in System Preferences > Bluetooth.
On your iPhone and on another iOS or iPadOS device, Handoff is turned on in Settings
> General > AirPlay & Handoff, and Bluetooth is turned on in Settings.
Each device has the minimum relevant software version installed: iOS 10, iPadOS 13, macOS 10.10, watchOS 1.0, or later.
Hand off from another device to your iPhone
Open the App Switcher on iPhone. The Handoff icon of the app you’re using on your other device appears at the bottom of the iPhone screen.
Tap the Handoff icon to continue working in the app.
Hand off from iPhone to another device
On the other device, click or tap the Handoff icon to continue working in the app.
The Handoff icon of the app you’re using on iPhone appears in the following locations on other devices:
Mac: The right end of the Dock (or at the bottom, depending on the Dock position).
iPad: The right end of the Dock.
iPhone or iPod touch: At the bottom of the App Switcher screen.
Turn off Handoff on your devices
iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch: Go to Settings
, then tap General > AirPlay & Handoff.
Mac: Choose Apple Menu > System Preferences > General, then turn off “Allow Handoff between this Mac and your iCloud devices.”
Tip: When Handoff is on, you can use Universal Clipboard to copy and paste text, images, photos, and videos across devices.
