IMAP is a kludge compared with Handoff.
Now when Linux can do the same thing with a word processing document, with an IM client, with a spreadsheet, with a presentation program, with my web browser; let me use my phone as a webcam, a signature pad, or a document scanner, get back to me.
- youainti 4y agoDoes this require using apple specific software though? I doubt it would work if I have an app/program installed on o ly one of the devices.
- least 4y agoHandoff can work with third party applications though mostly it’s Apple stuff. One notable exception is you can hand off webpages from your phone to macOS and it’ll be handled by any browser.

I've lived in the Apple ecosystem for a few years and Handoff/Continuity can do some impressive things (like the webcam thing of late, or cross device phone calls) that I ended up not using in practice. That's just me though. I prefer the simple way. When Handoff or associated features don't work when they should, good luck troubleshooting.
