Ok, so Apple, an American Tech Giant has recently rolled out the stable version of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, watchOS 11, and macOS 15 i.e. macOS Sequoia on 16th September. If we particularly talk about the latest macOS Sequoia, then Apple has introduced a new iPhone mirroring app from which you can mirror your iPhone to your MacBook or iMac.
How to mirror iPhone to iMac or MacBook?
In this post, I am going to tell you a step-by-step guide on how you can mirror your iPhone into a MacBook or iMac. Before we further proceed to the steps, do remember that we can mirror our iPhone to iMac or MacBook using two methods i.e. Wired and Wireless. Let’s move on to both methods one by one.
Note:
Whatever method you are using Wired or Wireless, make sure to first turn on the AirPlay Receiver by going into Settings > General > AirPlay & Continuity. After that, you have to select Everyone in Allow AirPlay For.
Make sure to enable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on your iPhone.
Wired Method
After doing this, let’s move on to the first method. So, for the Wired Method, you have to follow the steps that are listed below:
First, you have to connect your iPhone to your iMac or MacBook. After that, leave your phone aside and you have to click on the iPhone Mirroring option presented in the Dock as shown in the image below.
Then, you have to click on Continue.
After that, you have to enter the passcode on your iPhone.
Then, you have to click on Allow, to allow Notifications from iPhone. So, that they can be shown on your iMac or MacBook.
Then, click on Get Started.
If you see a screen as like this which is shown below, then you have to enter your iMac or MacBook Lock Screen password.
Then, you will see this Connecting to (your iPhone Model).
That’s it.
After doing this, you can use your iPhone from your MacBook or iMac. Also, your notifications can be shown on your iMac or MacBook and you can directly reply to messages from your iMac or MacBook without touching your iPhone.
Wireless Method
Now, let’s move on to the second method, which is Wireless. In this method, you don’t need any wire. So, for this method, every step is the same as the wired one. But in this wire is not required. So, you just have to make sure that your iPhone and your MacBook/ iMac must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Note: You just have to connect your iPhone and your iMac/ MacBook to the same Wi-Fi network. No matter whether Mobile Data is turned on/off. It will work with or without Mobile Data.
