In this episode, Thomas Domville delves into the seamless sharing of content from your iPhone screen via iMessage, thanks to Siri’s enhanced capabilities. Apple has equipped Siri with on-device processing, offline support, and advanced contextual awareness, which facilitates a smooth “Share This” feature.

Here’s the process:

When you’re in any supported application, such as Safari, Apple Music, or Photos, you can initiate sharing by saying, “Hey Siri, share this with [contact name].” Siri will grasp the context and ask for confirmation to share the particular content. Afterward, you have the option to append a personalized message before sending it off.

Should the content be unsharable directly, like a weather forecast, Siri cleverly captures a screenshot to share instead.

Hey Apple visitors, Tyler here, with a demonstration and overview of iPhone mirroring. iPhone mirroring is a feature that allows you to essentially use your iPhone from your Mac.

This may be useful if you, for example, prefer a given service's mobile app over its desktop or web equivalent, or if what you're using doesn't have a desktop app or website.

In addition, as notifications from your iPhone can be forwarded to your Mac via iPhone mirroring, you may find it more convenient to receive and respond to the notification on your Mac than to switch devices if you're working on your Mac when the notification comes in.

With the initial release of Mac OS Sequoia 15.0, this feature was completely inaccessible with voiceover.

With the subsequent 15.1 update, it has become accessible to a point.

I say to a point because at the time of recording, October 2024, there are several issues that, in my opinion, make the experience less than refined from a voiceover perspective, which I'll elaborate on later in this demo.

To use iPhone mirroring with voiceover, you'll need an iPhone with iOS 18.1 or later and a Mac with Mac OS 15.1 or later.

All iPhones capable of running iOS 18 work with iPhone mirroring, as do all Macs capable of running Sequoia, with the exception of the 2019 iMac, as that model lacks the T2 security chip or Apple silicon.

To set up iPhone mirroring, just open the iPhone mirroring app on your Mac and follow the on-screen instructions.

I've already done that, so now I'm going to demonstrate the feature.

I'm going to open iPhone mirroring on my Mac.

So here I am prompted to authenticate.

By default, whenever you open the iPhone mirroring app, you are prompted to authenticate as a way to verify your identity before it gives you control of your iPhone.

If you'd rather, it didn't prompt you to authenticate each time you open the app, you can change this in iPhone mirroring settings.

Just choose settings from the menu bar or press command comma and it should be there.

But I'm going to authenticate with touch ID now.

Close button.

Okay, so here I am in the iPhone mirroring window.

Okay, so we have home screen and app switcher.

Now you can use those buttons to get to those locations, or I find it more convenient to use the view menu or keyboard shortcuts.…
