Coming up on Hands on Apple, let's take a look at Continuity sketch, Continuity markup and continuity camera. Stay tuned podcasts you love from people you trust. This is twit. Welcome back to Hands on Apple. I am Micah Sargent, and today we are taking a look at continuity. Now, we've looked at continuity in the past, but what's important to understand here is that there are many continuity features and depending on what devices you own, you may have access to more of them than you realize. And so continuity at its base, when Apple sort of first introduced the concept of continuity, it was this idea that you could use your multiple devices together, that if you were browsing Safari on your Mac, you could easily then open up Safari on your iPad and pick up where you left off. Or you could pass music along from one device to another. Or if you were on the phone, you could tap the top of a home pod and be able to pass along the audio to it and use your home pod as a speakerphone. Well, continuity, this idea of these devices kind of talking to one another and creating their own little network of interactivity is something that works in multiple ways. And so it's a reminder for some of you or could be the first time that you realize for others as we take a look at continuity sketch and continuity markup and kind of the extension as well of continuity camera. So let's head over to macOS to kick us off. All right, here we are on macOS. And first and foremost, keep in mind that both of the devices that you're using need to have WiFi and Bluetooth turned on. They need to be signed into the same Apple account, and they need to be within 30ft of each other. Okay? So when all of those things are met, then it is the proper conditions for these continuity features to work. Now, if yours still aren't working, as was the case with me, what I needed to do was plug in my device to the other device. So again, with macOS, I have an iPad that I'm going to be showing these features on. I needed to plug that iPad into the Mac and then have the iPad kind of pop up the prompt that says, do you want to trust this device? At which point it said, oh, this is an iPad that is matching all of these requirements. So now you can use this. Now, the first thing to understand is that you can use macOS on almost any page to be able to insert a sketch, a photo, or a scan. Okay, so here on the desktop of macOS, if I right click down at the bottom, I see an option that says import from iPad. Now you may see import from iPhone. You may see import from iPad. Again, it depends on which are matching those cond. But with this you can easily. Again, I right clicked on a Mac. You can also down the control button and then click to get to this screen. And I can choose from the three Take photo, scan documents, add sketch. So let's see how these work. I'm going to choose Take photo and you'll see that a little thing pops up and it says use your iPad's camera to take a photo. Now, if we switch over to our iPad here, you'll see that we have the way, or the necessary way of being able to take a photo. So up has popped the photo UI and I can then take a photo of an item and I will click or tap rather on the shutter button and I can see that photo on my iPad and I will choose Use photo. And then if we head back over to Mac os, you can see that the photo I took now pops up on my Mac. Now this works in not just the desktop, but I could right click in Finder. I could be working in a pages document, a numbers document, and be able to add them from there as well. But here's the cool thing. It's not just for taking photos. As I showed before, we have some other options including Scan documents and Add Sketch. So let's see what scan documents looks like. So we'll click on this on macOS, we'll head back over to the iPad and we will lift. And in this case, we're still going to use the same item, but instead we're going to do it from a scanned document point of view. So I'll bring up that image. I'll see am I happy with the way that it's cropped? I might make some adjustments to it ever so slightly just to get the crop just right as we want it here, like so. And we'll crop the top down, fix that, crop this side in just a bit. And now choose. Well, I guess I'm not happy with the way that the bottom left looks there. So we'll do that one again and choose Done. And now we can tap Done. And once again, we will head back over to Mac OS and we can. Whoops, I have two images there. So I'll choose save. And those images now pop up. And because I took two of them, the second one's by accident, it actually shows up as a PDF document with both of the pieces there. So you could imagine if you're, you know, trying to capture a receipt or another document and you are, you know, you have multiple pages, this is a great way to do that. The last option is the option to add a sketch. Now, if we do the sketch option once again, we'll head over to the iPad. If you have an Apple pencil, you can use it with the Apple pencil. But here I can create a sketch and I'm just using my finger for this. And there we go. And I will choose done once again. And we'll pop back over to the Mac and you can see there's our sketch. And it does it as a png, so it's got the transparency in place. I could take that sketch and be able to edit it or move it around however I need to.
