Apple is working on a new feature that will support cross-device copy and paste between iOS devices and Windows PCs. Microsoft asked for the feature using Apple's EU interoperability request system for developers, which Apple implemented to comply with the Digital Markets Act. Apple began evaluating the request in March, and on June 26, proposed a project plan.

    I’ve been enjoying this feature between my iPhones and my Macs for over a decade and a half… I’ve forgotten that it doesn’t exist elsewhere.

      Amusingly, Android and Windows have a similar feature that’s been pretty reliable for the times I’m actually using windows.

      KDE Connect has this feature and it works between macOS, iOS, Windows, Android, Linux and SailfishOS

        If it works, which in my experience has been spotty.

        Can never get KDE connect to work for some reason on my CachyOS pc. I have to assume it’s the Network card or something

          That’s only for files. Regardless, it works flawlessly heck even better than airdrop and quickshare
