Not a fake April Fool’s video!The iPhone’s Magical Teleport Gesture Is True – Page 1 – iOS Discussions

Today is the annual April Fool’s Day. Just recently, a video started to circulate on social networking sites, showing that the iPhone can magically transfer pictures to the iPad with a pinch, because the timing makes many people think it is a fake video, But in fact, this gesture operation is real, and it has been available as early as iOS 13.

In 2016, Apple launched Universal Clipboard in iOS 10 and macOS Sierra. As long as your iOS and Mac devices are logged in to the same Apple ID and connected to sync, and the Handoff function is turned on, the clipped content can be copied on each synchronized device. It is very convenient to copy and paste the text and pictures on the iPhone and paste them directly on the iPad or Mac computer.

Apple has added three-finger gesture operation in iOS 13. On iOS, pinch in with three fingers to copy, and post with three fingers outward. The magic video that has recently become popular on the Internet is a combination of Universal Clipboard and gestures. Your iPhone is logged into the same Apple ID and has a synchronized clipboard, so you can magically transfer pictures to another iPad with a pinch and release.
