One of the coolest new features of macOS Sequoia is iPhone Mirroring, which expands Apple\u2019s Continuity feature set by enabling access to and control of your iPhone directly from macOS.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Continuity in macOS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Continuity is a feature suite on modern Macs that allow you to easily pickup with a conversation, document, or other task that you started on your iPhone or iPad and pickup on or finish on your Mac. One of the most prominent of these features is Continuity Camera, which lets you use your iPhone as a webcam. Plus, it allows you to use your iPhone to scan documents and insert photos right into your work on Mac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To use your iPhone as a webcam, all you have to do is bring it close to your Mac. Voila! Your iPhone will appear as an available webcam in FaceTime, Zoom, and other apps. Continuity Camera offers access to features such as Desk View, which lets you share a top-down view of your workspace, and Studio Light, which artfully lights your face while dimming the background. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continuity Camera also supports Center Stage. As you move around, the feature automatically pans to keep you centered in the frame. When others join in or leave the call, the view expands or zooms in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s more, with Continuity Camera, you can use your iPhone to take a picture or scan a document and have it automatically appear on your Mac. This features works in the Finder, Mail, Messages, Notes, Pages, Keynote, and Numbers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

About iPhone Mirroring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With iPhone Mirroring, you can access your iPhone right from your Mac. Your iPhone screen is treated as a window on the desktop and your custom wallpaper and app icons appear just like they do on the smartphone. You can swipe between pages on the Home Screen; launch and browse favorite apps; and review and respond to iPhone notifications directly from your Mac. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conveniently, the iPhone remains locked the whole time, so nobody else can access or see what you\u2019re doing. iPhone Mirroring also works with StandBy active, which allows you to turn your iPhone into a bedside clock, a photo frame, a display for viewing widgets or Live Activities in full screen, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to set up iPhone Mirroring in macOS Sequoia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
