To turn off Handoff on your Mac, you can follow these steps:
1. Firstly, click on the Apple menu in the top-left corner of your screen.
2. From the drop-down menu, select “System Preferences.”
3. In the System Preferences window, click on the “General” icon, which is represented by a blue circle with a white “gear” symbol.
4. Within the General preferences, you will see various options. Look for the checkbox labeled “Allow Handoff between this Mac and your iCloud devices.” It is located at the bottom of the pane.
5. To disable Handoff, simply uncheck the box by clicking on it. This will turn off the feature on your Mac.
6. Once you have deselected the option, Handoff will no longer be active, and your Mac will not be able to transfer tasks or data to your iCloud devices.
It’s worth noting that disabling Handoff on your Mac will not affect its availability on other devices associated with your iCloud account. If you wish to turn off Handoff on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, you can do so through the following steps:
1. Navigate to the “Settings” app on your iOS device.
2. Scroll down and tap on “General.”
3. Within the General settings, locate and tap on “AirPlay & Handoff.”
4. In the AirPlay & Handoff preferences, you will find a switch for Handoff. Toggle the switch to turn it on or off according to your preference.
By following these steps, you can easily turn off Handoff on your Mac and iOS devices. This can be useful if you no longer want to transfer tasks or data between your devices or if you simply prefer not to use the feature.
