Re: Copying text from one Apple device to another

I suppose that approach works, but it seems like a lot of trouble, just to get text from one device to the other. I have a feeling that I have to enable something in my settings. I once succeeded in getting this feature to work, but it involved turning my iPhone off and on several times,

Copying text from one Apple device to another

Re: Copying text from one Apple device to another

All that is required for this to work is that both devices be signed into the same iCloud account. Or use this feature all the time and it never gives me any trouble. Works like a charm. There may be something deep in your settings regards iCloud that you need to look into, but as far as I know

Re: Copying text from one Apple device to another

Hi Michael, as far as I know bluetooth has to be enabled and the devices need to be in the same Wifi network. But still it more or less works randomly here between my Apple devices. Sometimes it works this way but most of the time it doesn’t. All the best Jürgen > Am 15.09.2017 um 15:22
