The place to come for key terms made easy
AirDrop
This is Apple’s proprietary wireless ad hoc service in macOS and iOS which can be used to transfer files among supported Macintosh computers and iOS devices by means of close-range wireless communication. There is no limit on the size of files.
Private Relay
Private Relay is a new feature of macOS Monterey and iOS 15 that keeps your internet activity private by hiding your IP address and browsing activity in Safari. It protects your unencrypted internet traffic so that no one can see who you are.
Universal Clipboard
This is an Apple ecosystem feature that allows you to copy and paste content between Macs, iPads and iPhones. To use it you need to ensure all devices are signed into the same Apple ID, Wi-Fi network and have Bluetooth and Handoff turned on.
