Pretty cool, right?

Next, sign in to iCloud with the same Apple Account on all devices.

In some versions of iOS and macOS, this option is called “Apple ID.”

Turn on Wi-Fi and connect all devices to the same web link.

Place your devices within about 30 feet (10 meters) of each other.

This could be a block of text, an image, or other content that can be copied.

The copied content is saved to the clipboard on the unit where you copied it.
