The universal clipboard arrives with macOS Sierra

During the last Developer Conference that Apple held last June and where we were able to see all the news that is already coming to the new operating systems of the Cupertino-based company, one of the ones that most caught the eye of macOS Sierra was the universal clipboard and SiriAlthough if I have not yet gotten used to using it on the iPhone, I doubt that I will find it useful in the desktop operating system for Macs. But for people who spend many hours in front of the computer, the universal clipboard is an excellent idea .

On more than one occasion I have had to run from my work or home, not because something caught fire, and I have not been able to send me the document on which I was working or consulted by mail to be able to continue doing it on the iPhone or iPad. With the advent of the universal clipboard this problem has been solved, since I just have to select the text and hook the iPhone or iPad to continue with the document in question.

This function is intended not only for people like me, but it is also very useful for when we are looking online for the recipe for a dish that we would like to make. In this case we just have to copy the ingredients so that when we go to make the purchase we can have them on hand without having to search the internet for the page where it was.

But this function not only allows us to share copied text, but also it also allows us to copy images and video to share them in both directions, either on the Mac, or on the iPhone or iPad, ideal for when we are looking for information for a job or we are simply documenting ourselves to write.

The interest of this universal clipboard is clear and both Microsoft with Cache and the developer of Tweetbot with Pastebot, launched a few weeks ago the first beta versions of these applications that really allow us to perform the same functions as the one implemented natively but with some extra added that Apple has not implemented for whatever reason, we already know how Apple is in this sense .
