Are you a fan of using Microsoft's top apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint? Great news! Microsoft has just made a big step to make your life easier when switching between Apple devices. They've announced that these apps will now support Apple's Handoff feature.
Handoff is a super useful tool that lets you quickly switch and share files between your Apple gadgets. The catch? It only works if apps support the Handoff API. Luckily, Microsoft has listened to users and made their apps compatible.
But there are a few things to keep in mind. First, only certain devices are supported: iPad, iPhone, and Mac. Sorry, Apple Watch users, you'll have to sit this one out. Second, make sure your apps are up-to-date and you're using the same Apple ID across all devices.
Cloud storage is also a must. Documents you want to Handoff should be stored in OneDrive or SharePoint. Lastly, check that your iOS or macOS software is on version 2. 89 or later.
Once everything is set up, get ready for some seamless file-sharing magic. Whenever your devices are near each other, you'll see a notification. Tap it, and your work will fly over to the other device. Easy peasy!
