hi I'm St Smith rac.com so a couple of
0:03
days ago I gave you an overview of os 10
0:05
e and today I'm going to give you a
0:08
quick look at handoff and also phone
0:10
calls on the Mac let's get
0:19
started handoff is one of four new
0:21
features apple is bounding together for
0:23
what they call continuity along with SMS
0:26
phone calls and instant hotspot which
0:28
all begin to work in harm when your
0:30
iPhone is in proximity with your Mac
0:33
handoff works by using Bluetooth when
0:35
running both iOS 8 and Yos so if you
0:38
have Safari open on your iOS device for
0:40
example a new side popup will appear on
0:45
dock and allow you to open up the same
0:54
page and this does work surprisingly
0:56
quickly as you can see when I'm going
0:57
back and forth between mail and Safar
1:01
s and what's really impressive is how it
1:03
picks up from where you had left off on
1:07
device so if you had already began to
1:09
write an email and walked up to your Mac
1:11
it would remember everything you had
1:13
already typed including the contact you
1:15
had entered along with the subjects and
1:19
message even in this first beta I was
1:21
surprised how well it
1:24
worked next is phone calls on the Mac
1:28
you can find a phone number online
1:29
online for a store or restaurant
1:32
highlight the number and from there you
1:34
have the option to call from your
1:36
iPhone you can also call from the
1:38
contacts app or FaceTime in the same way
1:42
and yes you can answer calls from your
1:49
Mac so that's it for today what do you
1:52
think of handoff will you be using phone
1:54
