Using Handoff

Once Handoff is enabled, using it is easy. To transfer an activity from your iPhone to your iPad (or vice versa), simply swipe up on the Handoff icon that appears on the lock screen or in the app switcher. The app will open on the other device, and you can continue your activity from where you left off.
