In this guide, we will show you the steps to fix the issue of being unable to turn off the iPhone Mirroring feature on iOS 18/macOS 15 Sequoia. In the recently concluded WWDC, Apple took off the lid from its newest iteration of the OS, for all its devices, including the likes of Vision Pro, smartwatch, Mac, and its iPhone. As was expected, the iPhone managed to grab the attention of the masses with macOS being a close second.
Both these OS were blessed with a plethora of new and intriguing features. If we talk about its PCs, then they boost Apple Intelligence Siri [which is only available for M-based chipsets even though you can install Sequoia on an Intel chip], a dedicated Password Manager app, Window Tiling, Video conference Tools, iPhone Mirroring, and some iMessage tweaks.
Then if we turn our attention towards the iPhone, you are about to welcome tons of new goodies, including but not limited to the ability to ability to change home screen icons, theme them based on the dominant color of the wallpaper, change the lock screen options, lock app, customizable control center, and tweaks to iMessage and Control Center.
Among the plethora of new features, a few managed to stand out from the crowd: Dynamic Theming, AI, and iPhone Mirroring. If we talk about the latter one, then it allows you to mirror the content of your iPhone directly onto your Mac. You can easily control each and every aspect of your device directly from the PC.
Likewise, you even have the option to manage notifications and alerts appearing on your iPhone directly from your Mac. As soon as it was announced, it became the talk of the town, with users waiting in anticipation to get hold of the latest OS build so that they could have a shot at this feature at the earliest.
While users were able to test out this functionality and had a pretty good experience with it [keeping in mind that it was still in the Developer Preview/Testing stage], however, the same sentiments weren’t echoed when users tried stopping this feature. Whenever they tried doing so, it did close but only to re-appear a few minutes later. And this cycle kept on going till eternity.
One obvious way of dealing with this issue is to turn off the Bluetooth, and this infact rectified the issue. However, as soon as the Bluetooth was turned out, the issue reappeared. So what else could be done? Well, there does exist a nifty method that should help you address this bug once and for all. So without further ado, let’s check it out.
