Apple always makes sure its devices are a notch above when it comes to catering to user convenience. There are countless such features that keep all the Apple gadgets running efficiently in sync with each other. Handoff is a notable feature out of all. I will explain to those who may not be aware of this. Let’s say you use Safari to browse the internet on your iPhone and leave it midway. Later you can access Safari on your iPad or Mac. Then on the tablet or Mac, you can resume using the internet right from the point where you left off on your iPhone.
This technology works on the basis of WiFi and Bluetooth. This means the Bluetooth must be always active on all the Apple devices to be able to sync the usage of an app in real-time. Handoff ensures you do not lose your activities or restart them again. However, some users do complain that Handoff is not working on their Apple devices. It is true and can happen due to various reasons. If you are facing this problem, then in this guide I have explained its reasons. I have also put up troubleshoot methods you must follow to fix the issue.
