something entirely different it's called continuity so now at Apple we believe you should be able to use the right device for the moment maybe your phone when you're on the go your iPad when you want to kick back on the couch maybe your Mac you're trying to get some work done but we also want the transitions between these moments to be absolutely as natural and seamless as possible now our continuity features start with something simple and that's airdrop because now airdrop works between iOS and the Mac it's really convenient but now we have something where we really take it to the next level that's called handoff so it turns out now that when you're working on your Mac your devices around you and proximity are aware of each other and are aware of what you're up to and so if you want to pick up where you left off on your Mac on your iPad or your iPad is prompting you right in the lower left of the screen just swipe up and you can pick up working on what you're working on your Mac right on your iPad and this this works in the other direction as well so let's say you're composing an email on your phone and you walk up to your Mac well your Mac will notice what you're doing and prompt you right on the dock you click it and you can pick up finishing that message right on your Mac now we've been able to take this same proximity awareness and make the process of creating a hot spot easier than ever before so now if you're using your Mac and you're away from a network but your phone is nearby when you go up to your Wi-Fi menu your Mac actually without any configuration ever having been done on your phone sees your phone and prompts you so you click it and it automatically sets up a hotspot you never type a password and you're on the network that easily and this works even if your phone is across the room sitting in a handbag you just never have to touch it now the next area we really wanted to handle it was SMS now we all love iMessage we can continue our conversation seamlessly from device to device but then we have these green bubble friends and you know they have inferior devices and they insist on sending us messages and we don't want to hold it against them but the problem is that those messages don't show up on our other devices until now because now your phone is able the actives are relayed automatically and transparently send your messages between devices now believe it or not we're able to do the same thing with phone calls so now when you receive a phone call your Mac gives you caller ID and you can even accept the call and use your Mac as a speakerphone and believe it or not this works even if your phone is across the house in a charger you never have to miss a call well now that your Mac is all phone savvy it's also a great way to dial the phone so if you're in contacts and you want to dial a number you can do it right there and even on a webpage you see a number you want to call you can call it right from your Mac so I want to give so if you're up for it I'd love to give you a demo now all right so let's check out continuity we're gonna start with handoff but to pick up my iphone here and I was composing an email about our karaoke night does anyone want to you know I'm by my Mac so let's use my Mac here and you notice my Mac actually is aware that I was using my phone so with a click I bring up that message it's right where I left off does anyone want to go and you know to give these people some inspiration about what they might be able to experience a karaoke night you just summon a picture from last year's karaoke event now that ought to get him going so I'll send send that one on its way now of course this works in the other direction it looks like ondrea's is up for some karaoke and he sent me a URL that's - a good place to go for karaoke so I can pull that up here now if I want to show this page to a friend maybe pick up my iPad you notice as I look at my iPad let's put that up on the screen there at the bottom is Safari I just flick up and it takes me right to where I left off it's really amazing next up pump phone calling uh hold it one second well this is from my mom now she she is surely wants to grill me about the newest fourth tier LLVM compiler in Safari but this is not the right time I know you'd all love to hear from mom but I'm gonna scream I'm so I'm sorry she's a wonderful wonderful woman but that's it this is this is my space so but you know I would like to show you how we can make phone calls and so I can dial from webpages so for instance if I wanted to go dial a phone number like this one right here I could just select and hit it just like this and you notice I get a option to call right here inside of Safari but you know I wanted to make a phone call to a new Apple employee that's that's joining us is something we do from time to time so let me just bring up this here we go let's give a WWC welcome so let's let's have my Mac dial via my iPhone I to people like him all the time or very normal for me Wow hey it's Craig federighi here hey hey hey a doctor you're on speakerphone with via my Mac with over 6000 amazing developers here at WWDC we all want to welcome you to Apple amazing act yeah they have created some amazing apps if you want to be Tim into the office it'd be about 4:30 but I think you know orientation nuke employee orientation starts at 9:00 so and you don't have miss the free t-shirt so I chewed for nine well Dre it's been great chatting with you I'll see you around campus all right bye
