With iOS 18 comes two distinct bridges: seamless connections to Mac, as well as better communication with Android devices. Here’s how to download the beta.
At the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) this year, we’ve seen a bunch of new features coming to iPhones and iPads. From leveraging the freshly supercharged Siri with all of its AI goodness, to being able to lock and hide apps on your iPhone, there are plenty of new reasons to be excited about this update. Beyond the plethora of new features being released with iOS 18, two new exciting additions have made their way to the iPhone in a new beta release.
First up is iPhone Mirroring — a feature that is as rousing in functionality as it sounds. If the ability to view and control your iPhone wirelessly from your Mac doesn’t sound cool enough, perhaps official RCS support is sure to turn a few heads. Read on to find out more about these new features in iOS 18, how they work, and if you should risk installing a developer beta build just to try them out. You can now mirror your iPhone’s screen on your Mac
For the new iPhone Mirroring feature to work, not only does your iPhone have to be on the latest beta release of iOS 18, but you also need to install macOS Sequoia on your Mac computer. If both your devices are running compatible versions of the operating systems, you will notice an icon of an iPhone on your Mac’s dock. Clicking on this will launch iPhone Mirroring, and will present a welcome screen with a quick overview of what this feature can do. Click on “Continue”, and follow any on-screen instructions to get started.
