Manage iPhone Mirroring on your iPhone or Mac
iPhone Mirroring allows access to and control of iPhone directly from Mac, and also sends iPhone notifications directly to the Mac.
iPhone Mirroring only works when your iPhone is nearby and locked. Once you begin to use your iPhone directly, iPhone Mirroring automatically stops.
You can revoke access to iPhone Mirroring from either device, including when you get a notification that iPhone Mirroring is live. Revoking access resets iPhone Mirroring, so you need to go through the setup process again if you want to use it.
IMPORTANT: Before making changes or deleting information, consider potential impacts to your safety.
