Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with iPhone Mirroring, here are some common problems and their solutions:

• Can you use your iPhone while it’s mirroring?
  When iPhone Mirroring is enabled, you can only control your device via the app on your Mac. If you start interacting with the actual phone, it’ll disconnect. However, you can use Standby when it’s connected.
• Will sound still play from the phone?
  If you start playing music or, for instance, a podcast from your phone while it’s mirroring, the sound will come through the computer.
• How do I stop my iPhone mirroring?
  To stop mirroring, either start using your phone or quit the iPhone Mirroring app.
