How to mirror your iPhone on macOS Sequoia

With macOS Sequoia and iOS 18, Apple has a handy new way to hop between devices while using your Mac. Here’s how to set up and get the most out of iPhone Mirroring, which shows a virtual phone screen on your computer.

If you move your pointer to the top of the iPhone Mirroring window, a new area will appear, revealing buttons for the iOS Home Screen (left) and the App Switcher (right). You also can’t manually change the orientation of the virtual iPhone screen, but it will rotate automatically if you launch a game that starts by default in landscape mode: You can choose “Ask Every Time” or “Authenticate Automatically.” The former requires your Mac login password, Touch ID or Apple Watch confirmation to use your virtual iPhone on your desktop.
