Continuity features using macOS Big Sur and iOS14

I recently discovered the full list of continuity features available between Apple Devices.

I am curious if anyone knows if Continuity Sketch or Continuty Markup can be used while running macOS Big Sur and iOS14?

The article lists "Your Mac is using macOS Catalina, and your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch is using iPadOS or iOS 13.” as a requirement. I was not sure if this just hadn’t been updated since most articles use the language “or later” when referring to different operating system requirements. It seems odd Apple would introduce a new feature then stop supporting it so quickly.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.4

Hi there, Scott!

Thanks for stopping by the Apple Support Communities to inquire about Continuity Sketch and Markup. We're happy to give you some information on compatible operating systems!

You are correct, those should be listed as macOS Catalina or later and iOS 13 or later, as detailed below from Continuity Sketch and Continuity Markup on your Mac - Apple Support:

"Note: To use Continuity Sketch and Continuity Markup, you need an iPhone or iPod touch with iOS 13 (or later) or an iPad with iPadOS 13 (or later) installed."

Have a lovely weekend!
