[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1945335, member: 204485"] Not that I was hanging out for this app, just interested to see what I could do with it. All the online literature said that I could access it after installing macOS Sequoia, that it would be on my Dock or failing that it would be found in the App Launcher I couldnt see it so I did a search but no luck! So, I did a Spotlight Search, no results! I checked the App Store in case it was like some other optional Apple Native apps eg. Pages and Numbers but no, not there either! Finally, I actually looked in my Applications Folder and there it was. Talk about overlooking the obvious. My guess is that Spotlight was still indexing when I tried that because it shows up now. As for the app itself, well it's a novelty but the only really useful feature (to me) of file transfer by drag & drop has not yet been implemented. See this article for a good explanation of setup and use in it's current state. [URL="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/iphone-mirroring/"]iPhone Mirroring in macOS Sequoia and iOS 18: Everything You Need to Know[/URL] From my point of view it's not all that useful at the moment but there are [I]some[/I] uses. For example, I can access the iPhone on my MBP when it's locked and on my Qi charger in the bedroom. I can open say, WhatsApp or Messenger, edit, erase and write long messages/replies using my MBP keyboard which I find much easier than two thumbs on the iPhone keyboard (adds a whole new meaning to, "I'm all thumbs". 🤣) but generally I don't need to do that because I have the macOS version of those apps already on my MBP. If however you had iPhone apps that were not available on macOS this feature coupled with file transfer could have some real advantages. [/QUOTE]
