Key Continuity Features

 

Handoff

Start an email, note, or document on one device and pick it up instantly on another. Whether it’s an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, your workflow follows you.

Universal Clipboard

Copy text, images, or even files on your iPhone or iPad, then paste them directly into your Mac. No AirDrop, no cables — just seamless transfers.

Continuity Camera

Take a photo or scan a document with your iPhone, and it appears instantly in your Mac app. You can also use your iPhone as a high-quality webcam, perfect for Zoom or FaceTime calls.

Sidecar

Turn your iPad into a secondary display for your Mac. Great for multitasking, editing, or keeping reference notes handy. It’s touch-enabled, too, so you can use Apple Pencil for precision work.
