Casey LissHow is it the year 2024 and I cannot hand off current playback between my Mac and my iPhone?
☹️
Matt Christensen@caseyliss you kind of can, because Macs are now AirPlay receivers. You even get controls in the Now Playing dingus in the Menu Bar of the receiving Mac.
Sören@matt @caseyliss that’s AirPlay, not Handoff. Sort of the opposite. AirPlay sends from x to y. Handoff says “you’re at y; wanna take over from x?”
@chucker @caseyliss agreed, it’s not the exact same (that’s why I said “you kind of can”).
I do it all the time and since the Mac can play/pause, skip, seek, etc it’s almost all the benefit of true Handoff. When you leave the Mac, the iPhone still has the audio so it’s kind of like an automatic Handoff.
Not the exact same, but pretty slick ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
