devices. (This also works with any
other app that supports Handoff, and
for which you have the same app on
the two devices engaged in Handoff.)
- In macOS, a Safari icon appears on
the Dock: at left, if the Dock is on the
bottom of the screen; at top, if the
Dock is displayed at right. The icon
is overlaid with an icon of the device
on which the page is open, while
a floating label shows Safari plus
a generic label like ‘From iPhone’
or ‘From Mac’. Click it to open the
page in Safari. - On an iPhone, swipe up and the
Handoff notice appears as a lozenge
that features the Safari app icon,
the label ‘Safari’, and the actual
name of the device handing off. Tap
it to open it in Safari. - On an iPad,
the icon
appears at
the right side
of the iPad
app dock,
looking quite
similar to how
it appears on
a Mac. Tap it
to open the
page in
Safari.
If you have Safari frontmost on
two or more of your other devices,
only the page associated with the
device you most recently interacted
with appears.
AirPlay
In Safari on any Apple platform,
tap the Share button and tap
AirDrop, then tap the device with
which you want to share the web
page. In iOS 13 and iPadOS 13,
you can also tap on the top raw of
the share sheet an icon that shows
previous AirDrop destinations
(overlaid with the AirDrop icon).
When the other device receives the
page, it opens it automatically if
you’re logged into the same iCloud
account. If not, that device offers a
prompt to open the page.
macOS shows an overlay in the Dock with the app name and
device type, but not the device name.
