You don’t have to start everything again when you move from your iPhone to Apple HomeView. With Handoff, supported content can continue on the home display, making it easier to move a song, podcast, call, video or recipe from your phone into another room.
How Handoff works with HomeView
Start playing a supported song, podcast or video on iPhone, or open a recipe you want to cook. Bring the iPhone in front of HomeView’s display to begin transferring supported content. Apple specifically demonstrates this gesture for moving music to HomeView in its HomeView announcement.
Handoff can also continue calls and recipes on the larger display. The exact behavior depends on the content, associated app and whether your devices are set up for Handoff. If a third-party app doesn’t support the necessary integration, it shouldn’t be expected to appear automatically.
What can you move?
Apple lists songs, podcasts, calls, videos and recipes as supported categories. For cooking, this is particularly useful because you can discover a recipe on iPhone, then use HomeView’s Safari cooking mode when you’re ready to prepare it.
