Continuity is very versatile and like so much else in the Apple ecosystem, it just works.Īdditionally, Personal Hotspot allows you to use your iPhone’s data connection without needing to enter a password, even while the device is in sleep mode.īefore you jump up and excitedly and announce, “Hey, I’ve got a Mac and an iPhone,” we should tell you that Apple does impose requirements on which hardware can use Continuity. These features allow anyone using a Mac to compose an email, browse a webpage, edit a contact, and other things, and then transfer it to an iOS device or even another Mac.Ĭonversely, if you’re using an iPhone and you’re on a phone call or involved in a heated text conversation, and you want to sit down at your Mac and continue talking or texting, you can do that too. Continuity is actually the name of the technology that encompasses all its features, which include Handoff, Phone Call Forwarding, Text Forwarding, and Personal Hotspot.
