Amazing iPhone trick goes viral — and everyone’s saying the same thing

IT IS TECHNOLOGY that works like magic.

Apple fans are stunned by a new hack so impressive some are convinced it’s fake.

The trick shows how a user can copy and paste files from an iPhone to an iPad with fascinating ease.

The video posted on TikTok by @happymelmelr has nearly 50,000 views and tons of comments from adoring fans.

The original poster insists the video is real – and you can manipulate your devices to mimic the action.

“What you can do is take it to the next level,” Niels van Straaten, an Apple expert, told The Sun while unpacking the viral hack in an exclusive interview.

It’s a combination of some of Apple’s best features working together.

Apple’s universal clipboard tool allows projects to be seamlessly transferred between synced devices – it connects the two devices and makes this feature possible.

The gesture – the pinch and spread that gives this video its flair – is programmed into the device’s operating system.

The gesture is the “copy and paste” half of the viral trick.

There are certain conditions for this hack to work – both devices must be signed in to the same Apple ID, connected to the same Wi-Fi network, have Bluetooth on and within range, and finally have Handoff enabled.

Apple devices are starting to work together more effectively than ever.

Apple’s Sidecar feature allows users to use their iPad as a second monitor for the Mac computer.

Monterey 12, the latest operating software for the Mac, runs apps originally developed for the iPad or iPhone.

With different devices speaking the same language, Apple is building an all-encompassing digital workspace.

Van Straaten concluded, “People are now seeing the endless possibilities of the Apple ecosystem.”
