Cross-Device Continuity: When Proxy Use Breaks Handoff Between Platforms
If you’re like most of us, your day doesn’t happen on just one device anymore. You check a message on your phone, open a document on your laptop, finish it on your tablet, and maybe—if you’re living that high friction life—pick it up again on your work PC or even your TV before bed. This is the age of cross-device continuity. Handoff is baked into everything—Apple’s Continuity, Chrome’s tab sync, WhatsApp’s linked devices, Google Docs, Telegram, OneDrive, cloud gaming, you name it. The dream is seamless: move from one screen to another and pick up right where you left off, no passwords, no friction, just flow.
