Right now, it's just Apple's apps.

There is an API which has to be used on both iOS and Mac apps.

Can you use it between just iphone and iPad? I can't seem to get it to do anything. Have it all enabled.

This is what I did to get it working. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on all devices. Make sure all devices are signed into the same iCloud account and then turn off and turn back on your devices.

Right now this only works between iOS devices and less you have the developer release of the new OS X for Mac. The phone call handoff setting he is under face time settings on the iPad I had to turn off and turn back on FaceTime for the setting to appear

I've done all that. Still doesn't work between my 5S and my iPad Air.

My 5S can't seem to get the Health App kick started either. Going to do a restore from backup and see if that helps.

Yes, you can handoff webpages, pictures and email etc. (although I can't get handing off email to work). When I am in an email on the phone, I don't see any option to handoff to the iPad Air. If I press on the email nothing happens. I don't see any icon at the bottom left corner of the screen. I don't see any share icon etc.

Ok 2 cool things. I got it working and the first time I post on this forum someone from my city answers my post. LOL.

[HoosBruce]

So it's a no go for the Public beta of Yosemite? That would explain a lot haha

I don't even see the handoff option on my iPad 3. I have it enabled on my iPhone 5. How do I get it working on my iPad 3?

Same here, no option for handoff on my iPad 3.

i can get handoff to work in all the apps they list except keynote, numbers, and pages..anyone able to get these to work?

 

[zackattack784]

I got handoff to work but it doesn't really work with the messages app. The option appears to handoff but the text I was composing on one device doesn't appear on the other device. It just brings up the person I was messaging but it's blank. Anyone else experiencing this?

 

[Mtmspa]

Are any of you that have it working using a iPad 3?

Ohhhhhhh. Because I was sure wondering why it's not working. LOL

 

[bizzy045]

Yes. The iPad Air has it.

That feature has been turned off during beta testing, and will be enabled with a future iOS 8 release in October. That is from Apple and the release notes for Yosemite DP 8.

 

[Mtmspa]

sucks if the 3 doesn't support it.

The feature was previously working. Apple turned it off for all betas. I used it a little in a previous DP build and it worked very well.

Yes.
