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
