How Handoff works
Like already said, it helps you to start performing a task on one device and finish it on another device. For Handoff to work, both the iPhone and Apple Watch need to be close proximity.
Handoff feature works with
- Calendars
- Messages
- Phone
- Reminders
- Siri
Now for an example, you open your mailbox on your Apple Watch. Then you open the email icon on your iPhone. Then you enter the phone passcode. Now the email that you were reading on your Apple Watch will be displayed on your iPhone. This is how Handoff works.
