About Continuity features

Continuity features connect iPhone with your iPad, iPod touch, and Mac so they can work

together as one. You can start an email or document on iPhone, for example, then pick up where

you left off on your iPad. Or let your iPad or Mac 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
