Move between your Mac's screens from your iPhone

When your Mac has more than one display, swipe with three fingers, push the pointer past an edge, or tap a screen in the screens map to move between them.

Where to find it

Remote control on iPhone → screens button in the top bar

How to do it

  1. Connect to your Mac from Account → Control a Mac.

  2. Tap the screens button in the top bar to see the screens laid out as on the Mac, then tap one to go there.

  3. Or swipe with three fingers to go to the screen beside this one.

  4. In Trackpad mode, move the pointer past an edge to carry it onto the next screen. Holding a drag takes a window with it.

Good to know

  • The view always follows the pointer, including when someone at the Mac moves it to another screen.
  • Touch mode stops at the edges of the screen.
