Hand off tasks between iPod touch and your other devices
With Handoff, you can start something on one device (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or Apple Watch) and then pick it up on another device right where you left off. For example, you can start answering an email on your iPod touch, then finish it in Mail on your Mac. You can use Handoff with many Apple apps—for example, Calendar, Contacts, and Safari. Some third-party apps may also work with Handoff.
Before you begin
To hand off tasks between iPod touch and another device, make sure of the following:
-
You’re signed in with the same Apple ID on both devices.
Your devices are connected to Wi-Fi.
Your devices are within Bluetooth range of one another (about 33 feet or 10 meters).
On your Mac, Handoff is turned on in System Preferences > General, and Bluetooth is turned on in System Preferences > Bluetooth.
On your iPod touch and on another iOS or iPadOS device, Handoff is turned on in Settings
> General > AirPlay & Handoff, and Bluetooth is turned on in Settings.Each device has the minimum relevant software version installed: iOS 10, iPadOS 13, macOS 10.10, watchOS 1.0, or later.
Hand off from another device to your iPod touch
Open the App Switcher on iPod touch. The Handoff icon of the app you’re using on your other device appears at the bottom of the iPod touch screen.
Tap the Handoff icon to continue working in the app.
