Today we see together How to sign documents on your Mac with iPhone or iPad, also taking advantage of the Apple Pencil.
In 2021, macOS Big Sur, iOS 14, and iPadOS 14 will offer greater interoperability between Mac, iPhone, and iPad with new features like Sidecar that allows the iPad to function as a second screen for your Mac.
Although Sidecar is limited to new Macs, some features will be available for a wider range. For example, now we will be able to sign documents on your Mac using iPhone or iPad. Taking advantage of macOS markup features in Quick Look or Preview, we will add a signature directly from our iPhone or iPad. With the latter, we will also be able to take advantage of the Apple Pencil in supported models, allowing us to create an accurate signature to use on the Mac.
