What is "Continuity"?

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

In the mission to further integrate iOS with OS X, Apple has just introduced a new system for sharing applications between iOS and OS X called Continuity at WWDC 2014. With this new system we can share what we are doing to our iOS device and transfer it to your Mac and also vice versa.

Continuity is Apple's way of calling the entire system that has been devised to share the most of our iOS devices with our Mac with OS X Yosemite. Handoff is the system that allows us to share any application on your iPhone and vice versa, for example, if you are writing an email on our iPhone, the Mac will detect it and can finish writing therefrom. The system will also work with Safari, presentations, and any application that offers support for Handoff. Also allow us to have instant Hotspot meter without any password. 

Additionally it also introduced integration of SMS and calls with OS X. If we set our iOS device, our SMS will see in iMessage as if it were a normal message. Likewise this compatibility extends to calls, allowing us to use our Mac as a handsfree for our iPhone. This utility also allows you to call people from our Mac to our contact list and call phones we find on the web via Safari, all calls going through our iPhone.
