YOU DO NOW"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>I have been living the life of a fool. If I needed to copy and paste something between my iPhone and Mac, I would either email it to myself or use a cloud-synced note app like Evernote. Today though, everything changed: because I discovered there\u2019s an in-built way to copy and paste between Apple devices.<\/p>\n<p>This morning I needed to move a bit of text from phone to my computer. For some reason, in this specific circumstance, I remembered that back in 2009 I used to have a fancy little clipboard app that allowed me to do this easily. \u201cDid this exist still?\u201d I wondered to myself.<\/p>\n<p>I did what any good online sleuth would in this situation and \u2014 here\u2019s the surprising part \u2014&nbsp;<em>searched for it on Google.&nbsp;<\/em>Take a second to appreciate my skills, please.&nbsp;<em>Please<\/em>.

These are that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your devices are signed into the same iCloud account<\/li>\n<li>Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are turned on<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve done that, you need to enable Handoff. To do so on iOS (or iPadOS) go into Settings. Then select General and head into AirPlay &amp; Handoff. It should look like this:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1338551 lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/how-to-copy-and-paste-from-iPhone-to-Mac-796x724.jpg\" alt=\"how to copy and paste from iPhone to Mac\" width=\"500\" height=\"455\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/how-to-copy-and-paste-from-iPhone-to-Mac-796x724.jpg 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/how-to-copy-and-paste-from-iPhone-to-Mac-231x210.jpg 231w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/how-to-copy-and-paste-from-iPhone-to-Mac-297x270.jpg 297w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/how-to-copy-and-paste-from-iPhone-to-Mac-149x135.jpg 149w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/how-to-copy-and-paste-from-iPhone-to-Mac.jpg 1242w\"><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/plugged\/2021\/02\/11\/how-copy-and-paste-between-apple-devices-handoff-universal-clipboard\/#\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthenextweb.com%2Fplugged%2F2021%2F02%2F11%2Fhow-copy-and-paste-between-apple-devices-handoff-universal-clipboard%2F&amp;via=thenextweb&amp;related=thenextweb&amp;text=Check out this picture on: BLESS THIS GLORIOUS FEATURE.\" data-title=\"Share BLESS THIS GLORIOUS FEATURE. on Twitter\" data-width=\"685\" data-height=\"500\" class=\"post-image-share popitup\" title=\"Share BLESS THIS GLORIOUS FEATURE. on Twitter\"><i class=\"icon icon--inline icon--twitter--dark\"><\/i><\/a>BLESS THIS GLORIOUS FEATURE.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you\u2019re wanting to enable cross-device copy and paste on macOS, you need to head into Settings on that machine too.
