Continuity
About Continuity features
Continuity features connect iPad with your iPhone, iPod touch, and Mac so they can work 
together as one. You can start an email or document on iPad, for example, then pick up where 
you left off on your iPod touch or Mac. Or let iPad use iPhone to make phone calls or send SMS 
or MMS text messages.
Continuity features require iOS 8 or OS X Yosemite, and work with iPhone 5 or later, iPod touch 
(5th generation) or later, iPad (4th generation) or later, and supported Mac computers. For more 
information, see support.apple.com/kb/HT6337 .
Handoff
Pick up on one device where you left off on another. You can use Handoff with Mail, Safari, Pages, 
Numbers, Keynote, Maps, Messages, Reminders, Calendar, Contacts, and even some third-party 
apps. For Handoff to work, your devices must be signed in to iCloud using the same Apple ID, 
and they must be within Bluetooth range of one another (about 33 feet or 10 meters).

Phone calls
With Continuity, you can make and receive phone calls on your other iOS devices and Mac 
computers (with iOS 8 or OS X Yosemite). Calls are relayed through your iPhone, which must be 
turned on and connected to a cellular network. All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network, 
and signed in to FaceTime and iCloud using the same Apple ID. (On iPhone, make sure Allow 
Wi-Fi Calls, if that setting appears, is turned off. Go to Settings > Phone > Wi-Fi Calls.)

Spotlight, or Safari. You can also tap a recent contact in the multitasking screen.

Messages
If your iPhone (with iOS 8) is signed into iMessage using the same Apple ID as your iPad, you 
can also send and receive SMS and MMS messages on your iPad. Charges may apply to the text 
messaging service for your iPhone.
Instant Hotspot
You can use Instant Hotspot on your iPhone (with iOS 8) or iPad (cellular models with iOS 8) 
to provide Internet access to your other iOS devices and Mac computers (with iOS 8 or 
OS X Yosemite) that are signed into iCloud using the same Apple ID. Instant Hotspot uses your 
iPhone or iPad Personal Hotspot, without you having to enter a password or even turn on 
Personal Hotspot.
Use Instant Hotspot. 
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi on your iOS device without cellular capabilities, then 
simply choose your iPhone or iPad network under Personal Hotspots. On your Mac, choose your 
iPhone or iPad network from your Wi-Fi settings.
When you’re not using using the hotspot, your devices disconnect to save battery life. For more 
information about ways to set up a Personal Hotspot see Personal Hotspot
 on page 39.
