How to set up a shared clipboard and the Universal Access feature with iOS devices using Universal Control?

The Universal Control and shared clipboard features in the Apple ecosystem allow you to significantly increase productivity by using a single set of keyboard, mouse, or trackpad to control multiple Mac computers and iPad tablets simultaneously.

To ensure this feature works successfully, make sure that all your devices meet the system requirements, are in close proximity to each other, and are signed in with the same Apple ID account with two-factor authentication enabled. Also, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules must be active on all gadgets.

On your Mac, open System Settings, go to the General section, and then select AirDrop and Handoff. Make sure the toggle switch next to the Handoff feature is in the enabled position. Next, go to the Displays settings, click the Arrangement button, and drag the device thumbnails so that they match their actual physical position on your desk.

Once setup is complete, you can simply move the mouse pointer to the edge of your Mac screen toward the iPad, and the cursor will smoothly move to the mobile device screen. You can drag and drop files, text, and images by simply dragging them, and use the Mac keyboard to type text on the iPad.

Additionally, this set includes a shared clipboard feature that does not require manual setup and works automatically. You can copy text or an image on your iPhone, and then instantly paste it on your Mac using the familiar Command plus V keyboard shortcut, eliminating the need to send data via messengers or cloud storage.
