With the launch of the public beta of iOS 16 and watchOS 9, Apple has included a curious function. It is one that allows you mirror your watch screen directly to your iPhone. Do you want to know how it is done? Here we show you step by step.
It is not one of the main novelties of iOS 16 or watchOS 9, but it is a very interesting one. Although the use is given by you, this is a function that has been designed to provide the system with greater accessibility. Thus, if a person with a disability is unable to control their Apple Watch, you can always use the duplicate function.
To accomplish this, the Apple Watch uses a modified version of AirPlay. In this way, you can see what is happening on the device screen. Of course, you will obviously need your iPhone and your Apple Watch to be updated to iOS 16 and watchOS 9, respectively. Otherwise it won’t work.
