Apple Users Astonished to Discover Revolutionary Drag and Drop Feature for Seamless Device Connection
In a scene reminiscent of Tom Cruise’s futuristic gestures in the 2002 sci-fi film Minority Report, iPhone users have stumbled upon a little-known feature that allows them to seamlessly drag and drop files between Apple devices using only their fingers. This groundbreaking discovery has left users feeling like they’ve entered a realm straight out of science fiction.
The revelation came to light when TikTok user @_zoey_stein stumbled upon a “copy and paste hack” on the popular social media platform. She and a friend decided to put it to the test, attempting to drag a photo from an iPhone to an iPad using a pinching motion. Initially, their efforts seemed futile, leading to laughter and a sense of bewilderment. However, after some trial and error, they finally succeeded in copying the photo to the iPad by spreading their fingers across the screen. The euphoria that followed was palpable as they exclaimed, “You did it!”
Spreading like wildfire on Twitter, @Bornakang shared the video clip, admitting a lack of familiarity with Apple’s devices despite a lifetime of ownership. The tweet garnered surprise from fellow iPhone users, with one exclaiming, “No way, since when?” Another confessed, “I was today years old when I learned this.” The discovery even prompted some humorous inquiries, such as, “How do your fingers remember the data, tho?” and “What kind of witchcraft did I just witness?”
This revolutionary feature, known as the Universal Clipboard, was introduced by Apple in 2016, enabling seamless copy and paste functionality between Apple devices. By pinching the screen on one device and opening it on another, users can effortlessly transfer files, bridging the gap between their various devices. Utilizing iCloud as a connecting force, Apple’s Universal Clipboard simplifies the process of quickly transferring data from one device to another, such as from a MacBook to an iPhone.
To take advantage of the pinching feature, iOS 13 or later is required for iPhones and iPads, while iPadOS 13 and macOS 10.12 or later are necessary for iPads and Macs, respectively. Additionally, both devices must be signed in with the same Apple ID, and Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Handoff must be enabled.
Apple elaborates on the mechanics of using the Universal Clipboard on their website, advising users to pinch closed with three fingers to copy, perform the gesture twice to cut, and pinch open with three fingers to paste. This feature revolutionizes the way Apple users interact with their devices, allowing for a seamless and intuitive experience that blurs the lines between physical and virtual worlds.
In a world where technology continues to advance at a rapid pace, Apple’s drag and drop feature serves as a reminder that the future is closer than we think. As users continue to explore the capabilities of their Apple devices, the boundaries of possibility continue to be pushed, propelling us into a new era of connectivity and convenience.
