Revisited: Handoff feature

[duhduhduh]

Introduced in iOS8 and available to most Mac Computers, Handoff allows Apple's first-party apps and any third party developers to send an app's data seamlessly between devices so you can "pick up where you left off."

Does anyone still use this feature now?
If so, what apps are you using it, in conjunction with your Mac computer?

P.S: Started this thread because I had to disable the Handoff feature due to some bluetooth connectivity issues.

Sometime use it for starting a call before switching it to the phone, since finding a contact can be faster when using the Mac device.

mostly safari in between imac iphone ipad.

if making phone call also consider handoff, then yes, for facetime too. just so convenient when phone on living room and i am with ipad or imac in other rooms.

I use it for some of the Apps that support it.
I feel that it's really useful. Like say, when I'm looking through something on my Phone halfway and I just reached my desk. I simply continue from where I left off.

Hi Petx2, mind sharing what are some of the apps that you are using? Are those work related apps?

Safari is one of them.

It's really great to have it when I need to attend to something and still be able to continue from where I left off from my Desktop on my iOS Devices.

Handoff for safari is actually quite useful. No need to key in the website again on my mac and can just load the page with a click. For some reason, iCloud tabs work sporadically for me, so I prefer handoff.

For me, it is iCloud tabs that's working.

I am still trying to find out what other apps have hands-off capability.
