Christopher Lim's solution no longer works as of iOS 11 - the options are still there, but they do not completely disable continuity. This is exceedingly frustrating.

Doing this will disable the features of continuity. If that is what you desire, continue.


Handoff

  • On Mac, choose Apple menu () > System Preferences, then click General. Deselect “Allow Handoff between this Mac and your iCloud devices.”
  • On iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > General > Handoff, then turn off Handoff.
  • On Apple Watch, open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, then tap General and turn off Enable Handoff.


Calls

  • On iPhone, go to Settings > Phone > Calls on Other Devices, then turn off Allow Calls on Other Devices.
  • On iPad or iPod touch, go to Settings > FaceTime, then turn off Calls from iPhone.
  • On Mac, open the FaceTime app, then choose FaceTime > Preferences. Click Settings, then deselect Calls From iPhone.


Messages

On iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding, then switch off text message forwarding for all (or whichever) device you desire.
