Apple's Continuity features transform your individual devices into a single, powerful ecosystem. With Universal Clipboard, Universal Control, and integrated Background Removal, you can move content seamlessly between your Mac, iPad, and iPhone. These features eliminate the need for intermediate steps like AirDrop or saving files, allowing you to copy, paste, and drag-and-drop content as if you were working on one unified machine.
This update enhances how your devices work together by extending continuity to more complex content types. Universal Clipboard now seamlessly handles not just text, but full images and even subjects you've isolated from their backgrounds. Universal Control allows you to use a single keyboard and trackpad across your Mac and iPad, including the ability to drag and drop files directly between them. Additionally, a new Remove Background quick action in the macOS Finder lets you create transparent images instantly without opening a photo editor.
Combine these features to supercharge your workflow. For example, while editing a podcast on your iPad using Universal Control, you can find an image in Safari on your Mac, drag it directly over to your iPad, and drop it into your editing app as chapter art. This turns a multi-step process of saving, transferring, and importing into a single, fluid drag-and-drop action.
Universal Clipboard, Universal Control, and Background Removal are powerful Continuity features that erase the boundaries between your Apple devices. By enabling seamless transfer of text, images, and files, they allow you to work more efficiently and creatively. This integrated experience makes your collection of devices feel like a single, cohesive workspace, saving you time and effort on everyday tasks.
