1 year ago, one of the functions that Apple presented us and that we all liked, was the option of Duplicate the iPhone screen in the Macthus being able to review a notification, for example, while we worked with the computer, without having to look at the phone.
However, due to the laws of the European Union, Apple Intelligence and all these functions were not available at the beginning, having to wait many months to enjoy them. But, now that there is already free way, why still do not work iPhone Mirroring?
Duplicate screen will not work in the EU
And everything indicates that Apple will not unlock this function in the European Union, because its norms and laws are not really clear, and to avoid more problems with them, it does not intend to enable the tool, unless the EU itself permits it clearly.
When downloading Macos 26many of us had the hope that now we work, but we found the famous message of “is not available in your region”, although the application itself is installed in all Mac.
And it is that the European Union could go one step further, and force Apple to expand duplicity to Windows, or even from Android to Machaving to adapt their systems to it, something that is not the first time that happens, and that makes the apple company a bit tired of EU restrictions, which seems to only go towards them.
Current alternatives to iPhone Mirroring
Although many expected that screen duplication between the iPhone and the MAC arrived with Macos 26, the truth is that, at least in Europe, we still can enjoy it. Even so, there are some options that can do the Apaño while we expect Apple to activate it (if you do it someday).
1. AirPlay
It is not exactly the same, but if you just want to send photos, videos or music from the iPhone to the Mac, AirPlay can get you out of trouble. Of course, you need both devices to be in the same Wi-Fi network and that the MAC is compatible.
2. Quicktime Player
One more solution of “walking home”, but useful. You connect the cable iPhone to the MAC, open Quicktime and select the iPhone as a video source. It is something that allows you to see the iPhone screen in the MAC without installing anything extra.
3. Third -party apps
There are applications like Reflector, ApowerMirror either LetsView They do allow to double the iPhone screen on the computer. They work quite well in general, although some require prior configuration and may not be as fluid as a native Apple solution, but at least today they work without EU restrictions.
4. Remote control
And if what you need is to control the iPhone from the computer (rather than see its screen), tools such as TeamViewer either Anydesk They can also help you in certain situations. It is not duplication as such, but it is another way of maintaining control without touching the mobile. You will spend much more battery and it won't be so fluid, but it can serve you.
