Use your Mac and iOS devices together
When you sign in to iCloud on your Mac and iOS devices* they recognize
when they’re near each other, enabling amazing features. You can make
and receive iPhone calls on your Mac, using your Mac as a speakerphone.
SMS messages sent to your iPhone appear in Messages on your Mac, so
you can keep track of all your conversations. With Instant Hotspot, your
Mac can automatically use the personal hotspot on your iPhone. And with
Handoff, you can start an activity on your Mac and pick it up right where
you left off on your iOS device—and vice versa.
*Requires a device running iOS 8. Your Mac and iOS device must be signed in to the same iCloud account.
Handoff
An app icon appears in
the Dock when an activity
is handed off to your Mac.
iPhone calls
Make an iPhone call or send
a text message by clicking a
phone number on your Mac.
