Safari handoff displayed in App Switcher despite being in Chrome on my MacBook Pro

[chris4565]

Hi everyone,

When I'm in Chrome on my MacBook Pro (and even if Safari is completely closed) and I invoke the App Switcher on my iPhone 14 Pro Max, I get this message at the very bottom where it says "Safari from [device name]").

Is it supposed to work like that? I'm just confused because it gets displayed even when I'm in Chrome as opposed to Safari and it still says "Safari".

Yes, it's supposed to work like that. Chrome just transmit via handoff that a website is open. On all other devices on the same iCloud login, you will be shown the option to open said website with their default browser, which on your iPhone is Safari.

Good to know, thanks a lot for your reply!
