Both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth need to be on...

For Continuity to work, your iPhone and Mac are signed in with the same Apple ID, right?

Apparently there is another condition — The same Apple ID must be the ONLY Apple ID signed in on the Mac.


Continuity was working easily and beautifully for weeks in Zoom, and then it wouldn't.

At first I thought an update to Zoom or MacOS broke the feature, but here's what I found out…

Apple ID "A" was signed in on the iMac M1 (Sonoma) and the iPhone 15 (iOS 17.4.1). Continuity not working.

At the same time Apple ID "B" was signed in and running in the background.

The moment I signed out of Apple ID "B," continuity took off working like a champ again!
