One of the newest features in iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia is iPhone Mirroring, which lets you connect your iPhone directly to your Mac, giving you full control over it from your desktop. Apple introduced the feature at WWDC in June, but now it’s finally here via the second iOS 18 dev beta. Here’s how to try it out.
iPhone Mirroring with iOS 18 & macOS Sequoia! Tips & Tricks! Ultimate Guide
Before you can use iPhone Mirroring, you’ll need to install at least iOS 18 dev beta 2. Newer versions of the beta include the feature, but you’ll need to be running at least beta 2 to get a first look at it. You’ll also need a Mac running macOS Sequoia dev beta 2 or later. I recommend installing these betas on backup machines if possible, as using them carries a risk of instability and crashes.
Once fall rolls around and both operating systems are fully released, everyone will be able to access them without the need for a beta version.
With the beta version installed, you can finally start using iPhone Mirroring. First, find the appropriately named iPhone Mirroring application in the Launchpad menu on your Mac.
