iPhone mirroring and enhanced SharePlay screen sharing
Apple Mirroring is among the better features iOS 18 beta 2 provides. This remarkable functionality lets users replicate their iPhone’s display right to their Mac, facilitating a flawless and quick workflow between devices.
Users of iPhone Mirroring may now quickly move files between their Mac and iPhone, operate their iPhone, and even get notifications. Users of this integration may now use the power of their iPhone while enjoying the larger screen and improved input capabilities of their Mac, enhancing productivity and teamwork.
Enhanced SharePlay screen sharing capability in iOS 18 beta 2 is another much-awaited tool. Building on the current SharePlay features, this improvement lets users take control of the other person’s screen to offer help or direction and draw on one other’s screens during video conferences.
This function is beneficial for remote collaboration, technical assistance, and instructional environments—where the ability to interact with and visually show material may significantly improve the whole experience. iOS 18 beta 2 is poised to transform communication and collaboration by enabling consumers to share and control screens effortlessly.
Availability and compatibility
Developers registered in Apple’s Developer Programme can now access the iOS 18 beta 2 upgrade. Although the public beta is planned to be published in July, it is noteworthy that the final version of iOS 18 is scheduled for a September release, right in line with the debut of the much-awaited iPhone 15 series.
It’s important to note that regulatory compliance concerns will cause not all iOS 18 announced capabilities to be accessible in the European Union this year. This covers the much-awaited Apple Intelligence features, which will be introduced in stages throughout several areas.
