Use Hando to move between Apple Watch and iPhone
The Hando feature on Apple Watch and iPhone lets you move from device to device without
losing focus on what you’re doing. For example, you can easily check email on Apple Watch, but
you might want to switch to iPhone to type a reply using the onscreen keyboard. Simply wake
iPhone, and you see an icon in the lower-left corner of the Lock screen that matches the app
you’re using on Apple Watch—for example, Mail. Swipe up on the icon to open the same email
on iPhone, then nish your reply.
You can use Hando with these apps: Mail, Maps, Messages, Phone, Reminders, and Calendar, as
well as Siri. For Hando to work, your Apple Watch must be in close proximity to your iPhone.
Swipe up to read
mail on iPhone.
Open message
to read on
Apple Watch.
Turn Hando on or o. Open the Apple Watch app on iPhone, tap My Watch, then turn on
General > Enable Hando.
Locate your iPhone
Misplaced your iPhone? Apple Watch can help you nd it if it’s nearby.
Ping your iPhone. Swipe up on the watch face, swipe to the Settings glance, then tap the Ping
iPhone button.
If iPhone is not in range of Apple Watch, you can also try to nd it using Find My iPhone from
iCloud.com.
