iOS 18.1 beta 5 and its macOS counterpart are now available to members of Apple’s developer program. These updates finally enable drag-and-drop support in the iPhone Mirroring app, which Apple first previewed during WWDC24. Thanks to this change, beta testers can now easily transfer files between their iPhones and Macs without relying on AirDrop, wires, or cloud solutions.
If you’re running the latest iOS 18.1 and macOS Sequoia 15.1 developer betas, you can start using the feature right away. Simply launch the iPhone Mirroring app on your Mac, then drag any supported file from the virtual iPhone to macOS or vice versa. This is ideal for users shooting RAW footage with their iPhones and editing on macOS, as it spares them from transferring large files manually.
