Apple showcased macOS Sequoia at WWDC 2024 earlier this month, which will be available later this year. The company’s new OS for Macs brings a ton of upgrades like Apple Intelligence, improvements to the Continuity feature, and more. It also offers the much-anticipated iPhone Mirroring feature. The new functionality isn’t yet officially live in macOS Sequoia beta 1 version. However, someone has managed to unlock iPhone Mirroring functionality and has posted a demo video of it on X.
iPhone Mirroring appears much smoother than the Phone Link feature tethering Android and Windows
X user @XeZrunner has managed to enable the iPhone Mirroring feature and use it on iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia. In the demo video, the iPhone Mirroring functionality appears to be working very smoothly. It appears to be much smoother than the Phone Link feature that ties Android devices to Windows computers.
During the demo, the X user quickly launched the feature, navigated through the UI, and exited a mirrored iOS application. The feature appears to be working instantly, without any lag or glitches.
The X user who posted the iPhone Mirroring demo video got help from another user, @thebookisclosed, to enable the feature. He mentioned that as of now there’s no easy way to enable iPhone Mirroring on the macOS Sequoia beta 1 version. There’s a possibility that the Cupertino tech giant may activate the much-awaited functionality in the upcoming beta builds.
The feature lets you control your iPhone and do more directly from your Mac
The upcoming iPhone Mirroring feature will certainly be a major upgrade to macOS’ Continuity functionality. It will allow you to control your iPhone directly from your Mac. You can control all the apps on your iPhone on your Mac’s screen with a keyboard and a mouse/trackpad.
Notably, your iPhone’s audio will directly come out through your Mac machine’s speakers. Also, you will be able to directly move files, photos, videos, and more between your Mac and iPhone easily.
The best part is that iPhone Mirroring works without you having to pick up and unlock your iPhone. We will update you as soon as Apple officially makes it available in the upcoming macOS Sequoia betas, so stay tuned.
