System and method for application session continuity

A method for transferring an application session from a first device to a second device comprising:

• on the first device, running a first application that consumes application-related data from a server;
• obtaining session data from the first application, the session data capturing a current state of the first application and further indicative of a state of the application-related data being consumed by the first application;
• transferring said session data to the second device;
• using at least one of said first and second devices to communicate a session transfer request to the server which causes the server to direct said application-related data to the second device;
• on the second device, running a second application that uses the session data to consume the application-related data from said server according to the state of the application-related data captured by the session data from the first application.
