Continuity Camera is a feature that allows you to use your iPhone or iPad as a camera for your Mac. This can be useful in a variety of situations, such as when you need to quickly take a photo for a project you’re working on. However, some users may find that they no longer need this feature, or they may prefer to use a standalone camera instead.
In order to turn off Continuity Camera, you will need to disable Handoff on your Mac. Handoff is a feature that allows you to start a task on one device and then continue working on it on another device. By turning off Handoff, you will also disable Continuity Camera.
It is important to note that turning off Handoff will disable other features as well, such as Universal Clipboard and Instant Hotspot. If you need to use these features, you will need to re-enable Handoff.
