At the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) this year, we’ve seen a bunch of new features coming to iPhones and iPads.

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.

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.
