Hi, I have messages already in my dock along with 23 other apps. How can I differentiate between the messages app and the messages instance that I have started on another device? This aspect of handoff has always been confusing to me. I can get it to work from my mac on to my iPhone and iPad, but not the other way around.

The messages app must be open. It was confusing for me because I thought I could be in the messages app and would see the message. You don’t. When it’s working correctly it shows up in the doc or on the lock screen depending on the device. > On Dec 13, 2014, at 12:48 PM, Jenine Stanley <[email protected]> wrote: > > Whew, glad it’s not just me. > Jenine Stanley > [email protected] > > > >> On Dec 13, 2014, at 3:16 PM, Lisette Wesseling <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >> Hi Jenine, >> It's not going to be much comfort to you, but I have not got hand off to >> work on anything yet.
