Sometimes, your iPhone is in another room or deep in your bag. For those moments in which you need to use it but do not feel the desire to find it, you can pull it on your computer. As part of Apple’s continuity features, the iPhone Mirroring allows you to access your iPhone wirelessly.
When the feature is under implementation, you will see the home screen designated for your iPhone. From there, you can use the keyboard, tracking panel or mouse to pull and drop content (such as photos, videos and files) between both the device as well as width and reply to the notifications. While doing all this, the iPhone will remain closed. It also works while your iPhone is standing in standby mode, which is an iOS 17 feature that turns iPhone into a smart screen while charging.
