Apple’s ecosystem makes it easy to work on your smartphone, move to another device, and pick up where you left off. Whether you’re browsing the internet, paying online, sketching or texting a friend, you can use a feature called Continuity that seamlessly connects all your Apple devices.
One of Continuity’s best tools is the Universal Clipboard. Using the Universal Clipboard, you can copy photos, videos or links on your iPhone, then jump to your iPad or MacBook and paste without any issues. If you’re already familiar with this tool, you know its usefulness. But we can also tell you about a hidden gesture that makes the Universal Clipboard easier to use. Let’s have a look!
Is your device compatible with Continuity?
In order for your Apple product to use Continuity, each device must meet the following requirements:
1. Sign in to the same iCloud account
2. Connect to the same Wi-Fi network
3. Bluetooth and toggle must be enabled
Also, while the Universal Clipboard feature works on most Apple devices, focusing only on touchscreen devices, they use pinch gestures with Continuity, so this will only work on compatible iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch models running at least iOS 10.
Easily copy and paste between iPhone and iPad using pinch gestures
There are several ways to copy and paste using the Universal Clipboard feature, but the quickest way is to use the pinch gesture:
Copy: three-finger pinch
Paste: pinch out with three fingers
The best way to use this feature is to use pictures and videos from the Photos app. Suppose you want to copy and paste photos from iPhone to iPad. All you need to do is open the Photos app on your iPhone, find the photo you want to migrate, and pinch with three fingers to copy it to the clipboard. To move a photo to another device, turn on your iPad, go to an app like Notes or Messages, and pinch with three fingers to paste the photo.
You can do the same with links and text, but they both need to be highlighted before using the pinch gesture to copy them to the clipboard and move them to another device.
