Handoff is a feature that allows you to start a task on one device and seamlessly continue it on another. In this case, you can start a task on your Mac and continue it on your iPhone, or vice versa.

First, make sure that both your Mac and iPhone are signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID and are on the same Wi-Fi network. Also, make sure that both devices have Bluetooth turned on.

On your Mac, open an app that supports Handoff, such as Safari, Pages, or Mail. Then, on your iPhone, double-tap the Home button to open the app switcher. Look for the app you want to continue using on your Mac. You should see an icon for it at the bottom of the screen. Tap that icon, and the app should open on your Mac, with the same document or webpage you were viewing on your iPhone.

To use Handoff from your Mac to your iPhone, simply click on the Handoff icon in the Dock, which should appear when an app is available for Handoff. The app will then open on your iPhone, with the same document or webpage you were viewing on your Mac.

Note that Handoff works with certain Apple apps, as well as third-party apps that have been updated to support the feature. If you're having trouble with Handoff, make sure that both devices are compatible and that Handoff is turned on in your device settings.
