您是否曾经在一台设备上开始做某件事,但希望能在另一台设备上完成?也许是一封电子邮件、新文档、短信或互联网研究。使用Handoff,您可以毫不费力地做到这一点。

从 iPhone 切换到 Mac
假设(Say)您正在 iPhone 上查看特定的日历活动,并希望在拥有更多屏幕空间的
Mac上打开它。

打开iPhone 上的应用程序切换器(App Switcher)(从屏幕底部向上滑动或双击“主页”(Home)按钮)。您会在底部
看到应用程序图标,显示它来自Apple Watch 。

选择iPhone 上的Handoff应用程序,您在(Handoff)Apple Watch上查看的电子邮件将立即打开。

You can turn on Handoff the same way on your iOS devices including iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
- Open the Settings app and choose General.
- Select AirPlay & Handoff.
- Turn on the toggle for Handoff.

To disable Handoff later, follow the same steps and turn off the Handoff toggle.

On macOS 12.5 or earlier, open System Preferences, choose General, and select Allow Handoff between this Mac and your iCloud devices.
To disable Handoff later, follow the same steps and turn off the Handoff toggle or deselect Handoff.
Enable Handoff on Apple Watch
To turn on Handoff on Apple Watch, you can use either the Settings app on the Watch or Apple’s Watch app on iPhone.
On your Apple Watch, open Settings and select General. Tap Handoff and turn on the toggle for Enable Handoff.

In the Watch app on iPhone, go to the My Watch tab and select General. Turn on the toggle for Enable Handoff.

How to Use Handoff on Your Apple Devices
Once you meet the requirements and enable Handoff on your devices, the rest is a piece of cake. You don’t have to do anything further except select the Handoff app to open the item.
You’ll see the Handoff app display in different locations depending on your device:
- iPhone and iPod touch: At the bottom of the App Switcher.
- iPad: On the right side of the Dock.
- Mac: On the right side or bottom of the Dock depending on its position.
Let’s look at a few examples using Handoff from one Apple device to another.
Handoff From iPhone to Mac
Say you’re viewing a specific calendar event on your iPhone and want to open it on your Mac where you have more screen space.

With the event in Calendar open on your iPhone, you’ll see the Calendar app with the Handoff icon in the bottom right corner in the Dock on your Mac.

Select the Handoff app on Mac and the event you’re viewing on iPhone will open right up.

Handoff From Mac to iPad
Maybe you’re creating a document in Pages on your Mac and want to continue it on your iPad so that you can go mobile, out to your porch or patio.

While you’re typing the document on Mac, you’ll see the Pages app with the Handoff icon on the right side of the Dock on your iPad.

Select the Handoff app on iPad and you’ll see the Pages document open right to the spot where you left off on Mac.

Handoff From Apple Watch to iPhone
For one more example, you may be working with an app on Apple Watch that you want to continue on your iPhone. Here, we’ll use the Mail app to read an email on Apple Watch.

Open the App Switcher on your iPhone (swipe up from the bottom of the screen or double-click the Home button). You’ll see the app icon showing that it’s from Apple Watch at the bottom.

Select the Handoff app on iPhone and the email you’re viewing on Apple Watch will open right up.

Ignoring the Handoff From Device to Device
Just because the Handoff app is available on another device, doesn’t mean you have to use it. The indicator will remain on your other device until you move onto a different task and then it’ll vanish. This means if you don’t want to accept the Handoff, you can simply ignore it.
Handoff Troubleshooting
If you’re having issues with Handoff such as not seeing the Handoff indicator from one device to another, here are a few things you can do to fix it.
- Review the above requirements to be sure that you’re signed in to your iCloud account with the same Apple ID, have Handoff, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi turned on, are running the correct OS version, and are using a supported Apple device.
- Turn off Handoff on your devices and then turn it back on.
- Sign out of and back in to iCloud on your devices.
- Restart your Apple devices.
If you try all of the above and are still having trouble with Handoff, consider contacting Apple Support for further assistance.
