iPhone Mirroring is the first amazing feature in a while

[nickawhite]

Immediately upgraded to iOS 18 and Sequoia for the sole purpose of trying out iPhone Mirroring. Connecting was easy and worked immediately. And a few hours in - it is exactly as helpful as I thought it would be. The ability to sit with my laptop and multitask between working on the laptop and responding to things on the phone without actually switching devices is nearly revolutionary. I love being able to double the size of the screen, and to use a full layout keyboard to respond to DMs on IG?! Heaven. Anyone else having a good (or bad) experience with it? This is the first new feature to get me truly excited in years.

Haven’t updated yet (getting a new phone Friday so going to wait) but I’m really excited to try it. Definitely a feature to highlight when people say Apple no longer innovates - combined with Continuity and Handoff, Apple’s interplay between devices is incredible.

Tried it. Fun but pointless. Removed it.

I have two iPhones - my Mac decided it wanted to connect to my backup iPhone not my main one.
I don't see any options to switch devices for mirroring.
How do I reset the application to have it "scan" for my main iPhone?
Anybody else had this issue?

Found out you have to go into settings -> desktop & dock and you can select the iPhone there

iOS Photos app clicks behave unexpectedly, single-clicking a photo goes into select mode with the single photo selected instead of just opening it. I had to long-click the photo and then click the preview to open it.
