Hi all

I am a little confused with the new continuity feature in iOS 8, when attempting it on the iPad / iPhone, the icon only appears in the bottom left for whatever app your using when the other device is on the lock screen and disappears the moment you exit the app on the original device. Is this normal?

Also it seems to appear for everything except the messages app, hasn't iOS been updated to use continuity for the messages app yet? As I can't seem to send regular text messages with my iPad either yet.

Also, what are the requirements in order for continuity to work? Do you just need to be connected to the same wifi and logged into the same iCloud account or do you need bluetooth and airdrop on as well?

Thanks

James
