IOS search in setting is not working well

In my attempt to locate the Handoff setting on my iPhone 16 Pro Max, I encountered difficulties due to Apple’s frequent changes in the layout of settings. Consequently, I resorted to searching for the specific setting.

Previously, the Handoff function operated seamlessly. However, upon searching for it, no relevant results were found. To expedite the search process, I sought assistance from ChatGPT, which directed me to the appropriate location: Settings > General > AirPlay & Continuity.

After locating the setting, I was able to enable Handoff. Nevertheless, I have observed instances where the Airdrop feature exhibits slower performance compared to sending images via WhatsApp. Apple has consistently delivering optimal and bug-free performance.

I am curious to know the underlying reasons for these performance discrepancies.

SAMSUNG even understands a natural language in search of setting.

we are upgrading or downgrading?

The reason Handoff doesn’t show up for you in the search is because it isn’t a menu in Settings, it’s only a toggle. I agree with you, Apple should update the search function in Settings, but I think it would take a bit of work to program every toggle and every way someone might search for a toggle into the Settings app, so they haven’t done it. Searching in Spotlight Search does show the correct thing, so maybe it wouldn’t be too hard for Apple to implement.

Try Continuity. Airplay and Continuity are Sections in Settings. Handoff is a feature under Continuity among others such as Mirroring.
