How to Use iPhone Mirroring macOS Sequoia 15?

Do you want to screen mirror your iPhone to your MacBook without any third-party apps. If that’s the case then macOS Sequoia has got you. Here, you’ll learn how to use iPhone mirroring on macOS 15 Sequoia.

Meanwhile, one of the unexpected highlights at Apple’s WWDC 2024 was a new feature for computers. In Sequoia, the new operating system coming this fall and now in public beta, you can mirror your phone to your Mac.

What is iPhone Mirroring?

If you use a Mac, you might want to quickly check your iPhone’s notifications, see if you missed any calls, or just see what’s happening on your phone. Maybe there’s an app on your iPhone that you wish you could use on your Mac.

With the new iPhone Mirroring feature in macOS Sequoia, you can do all of this. Here’s what it allows you to do:

• Mirror your iPhone screen wirelessly: View your iPhone’s screen on your Mac, including all apps and notifications, just like on your iPhone.
• Control your iPhone: Use your Mac’s keyboard, mouse, or trackpad to navigate and control your iPhone.
• Drag and drop files: Transfer files, photos, videos, and more between your iPhone and Mac by dragging and dropping.
• Your iPhone stays locked: Your iPhone remains locked during mirroring, keeping your data secure.
• Notifications: Your Mac will display notifications from your iPhone. Clicking on them will open them in the mirrored iPhone interface.
