Apple Introduces iPhone Handoff to Keep a Single Number Active on Two Devices

LATEST MATERIAL CHANGE

What changed?

Apple has unveiled a new feature called iPhone Handoff that lets users maintain a single phone number on two iPhones at the same time. Users designate one device as the main phone and the other as a secondary phone. When either phone is unlocked, the number becomes active on that device, allowing calls and the Find My service to be routed there. The secondary phone can be used for specific occasions, such as weekends, with its own app and settings configuration. This feature expands flexibility for users who prefer to keep a single contact number across multiple iPhones.

Why it matters

It offers users a flexible way to manage a single number across multiple devices, simplifying call handling and location tracking without needing separate numbers.
