How to share screens on Mac, iPad & iPhone

Apple has recently made it much easier to share your screen with friends and colleagues on FaceTime. This can be very helpful if you want to show a problem you’re encountering with an app, display important work-related information for video-meetings, or just share something fun with your friends. 

It should be noted that Share Screen is slightly different to SharePlay , which is another new feature introduced by Apple. With the latter, you’re able to watch streamed movies, TV shows or music together, but any subscription services (such as Netflix, Spotify, Apple TV+ etc) require every person on the call to have active accounts. So, it’s not a way to get around watching the latest episode of a show if you don’t subscribe to the service. 

Here’s how to share your screen while using FaceTime for iPhone, iPad or Mac. F or users with older devices, not able to run the latest versions of its OS, we also have some other methods for sharing your screen later on in this tutorial. 

If what you wanted to do is use your iPad as a screen with your Mac you need to read this: How to use an iPad as a second screen with a Mac.

What you need:

• Latest version of iOS, iPadOS and macOS

Before you can access the latest screen sharing features, you’ll need to ensure that your device is running the latest versions of their relative operating system. For iPhone you’ll have to be on iOS 15, iPads require iPadOS 15, and Macs will need macOS Monterey – these all have the screen sharing features built-in. 

If your device isn’t able to run these versions, then you can still share your screen, but it will require different methods, which we’ve outlined later in this guide. 

To move your device to the newest iteration of its OS, you can follow the instructions in how to update iOS on your iPhone , how to get iPadOS 15 on your iPad and how to update macOS . 

How to share your screen in FaceTime for Mac

On macOS Monterey it’s simple to share your screen when using FaceTime. Here’s what to do:

• Start or join a FaceTime call.
• Click the FaceTime icon in the menu bar to open up the control panel.

• When you’ve finished, click the FaceTime icon in the menu bar once more and click the Stop Sharing button. 

How to share your screen with FaceTime for iPhone and iPad

As with macOS Monterey, iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 now have simple ways to make sharing your screen a doddle. Here’s how it’s done:

• To finish sharing, tap the End button. 

How to use SharePlay on iPhone, iPad and Mac

If you want to watch movies, TV shows or other steamed content with friends over FaceTime, then SharePlay is the way to do it. For this, you’ll require the latest version of iOS 15, iPadOS 15 or macOS Monterey, so make sure all participants’ devices are updated accordingly. 

When on a call, activating SharePlay is very similar to the Share Screen feature, but with a few different steps:

• Start a FaceTime call.
• Open up an app that supports SharePlay (This is growing all the time, but you’ll need to check whether the one you want to use will work or not).
• Choose the movie or show you want to watch, then tap Play followed by Play for Everyone .
• This should sync the content to everyone on FaceTime, so long as they have active accounts with the content provider. 

How to share your screen with devices running earlier versions of iOS, iPadOS and macOS

You don’t have to use FaceTime to share your screen, although it is the easiest way to do so. But, if you want other methods, then here are some you can try. Many are centered on older versions of macOS, with could be handy if your current devices doesn’t support the newest version of its OS.

Method 1: Use Screen Sharing on a Mac

If you’re both on Macs, an easy way to access and control your friend or colleague’s screen is to use the screen-sharing feature built into macOS.

The invitation will appear as a notification on your colleague’s Mac; they should click Accept.

Then select either ‘Control my screen’ or ‘Observe my screen’ (depending on whether they want you to be able to see what’s going on or actually control their Mac) and then Accept.

Your colleague’s desktop will appear on your desktop as a window. (If they’re using two monitors, as is the case below, this window will be double-width.) If your colleagues selected ‘Control my screen’, you can actually click on the windows and icons inside Screen Sharing and control the other Mac directly. This enables you to fix any problems yourself.

When you’re finished, click on the Screen Sharing icon in either Mac and choose End Screen Sharing.

Method 2: Access a Mac via Messages

Messages also allows you a quick and easy way to share your screen with another person. Our US-based Macworld team has already written a fine tutorial outlining the process, so take a look at How to share your Mac’s screen with Messages for a step by step guide. 

Method 3: Remote access a Mac using Chrome Remote Access on an iPad/iPhone

If you’re using an iPad (in particular) or an iPhone (if you think you’ll be able to make our any detail on the smaller screen) then using remote access to view and control what’s on your friend’s Mac is a good option. And one of the best ways to remote-access a Mac from an iPad is to use Google’s free Chrome Remote Access service, which lets you remotely use Mac programs from an iOS device.

It’s quite an involved process to set it up the first time, but easy if you want to do it again in future. You’ll need the Google Chrome web browser for Mac, and a Google account. If you haven’t got these already, you can download Chrome here and sign up for a Google account here .

How to set up Chrome Remote Desktop on a Mac

• Open Chrome and go to Chrome Remote Desktop on the Chrome Webstore.
• Click Add to Chrome, then Add App.
• Click Allow, then Continue.
• Hit Get Started under My Computers, and select Enable Remote Connections, Accept and Install, then OK.
• Double-click the chromeremotedesktop.dmg file in your Downloads folder, then double-click the Chrome Remote Desktop Host.pkg icon that appears in Finder. Click Continue, Install, enter your Admin password and click OK. Click Close.
• Return to the Chrome Remote Desktop window and click OK. Enter a memorable pin and click OK.
• The Chrome Remote Desktop Host Preferences window will open. Click the lock icon. Enter your Admin password (click OK) and your PIN (click Enable).
• Click OK in the Chrome Remote Desktop window. Close the Chrome Remote Desktop window, Chrome Remote Desktop Host Preferences window, and Google Chrome windows.

How to set up Chrome Remote Desktop on an iPad or iPhone

• On your iPad, you’ll need to download the Chrome Remote Desktop app .
• Open the app, tap Sign In and enter your Google ID (the same Google ID as the one you logged into on the Mac)
• Select the appropriate Mac computer in the My Computers window. Enter the PIN we chose earlier and tap Connect.
• There are some other excellent iPad remote-control apps out there, but most of them charge a monthly fee, which is why we return to Chrome Remote Access.
• We look at this approach in more detail in a separate article: How to remote access a Mac from an iPad for free

Method 4: View Mac on iPad or iPhone with VNC Viewer

Accessing a computer on the same network as your iPad , iPhone or iPod touch is usually just a matter of entering the local network IP address or computer name when prompted in the apps discussed below.

However, accessing your computer from outside the home or office is more complicated. You’ll need to configure your router so that the relevant ports are passed through to the computer you want to connect to. You’ll find guides online.

It’s also wise to configure a dynamic DNS service so that you can connect via a hostname rather than an IP address, which is prone to changing. Examples of dynamic DNS services include NoIP and DuckDNS , which are free of charge, but how they’re configured is again outside the scope of this article. There’s many guides available online – just search using your router model number and “dynamic DNS”.

How to set up your Mac and iPad for screen sharing

macOS uses the established Virtual Network Computing (VNC) protocol to share a desktop remotely, so any iOS app that supports VNC will work. There are quite a few of these, in fact, but one of the best that also happens to be free is VNC Viewer .

• Before using VNC Viewer you’ll need to configure the Mac you want to connect to: put a tick alongside Screen Sharing in the Sharing component of System Preferences.
• Click the Computer Settings button and ensure there isn’t a tick alongside either of the two headings you see.
• Note the address listed beneath the heading that reads Screen Sharing: On. You’ll need it to connect in a moment. It’s also a good idea to note your Mac’s IP address in case using this address doesn’t work – click the Apple menu, hold down Alt ( Option on some keyboards), and click System Information.
• In the window that appears click the Network heading in the list at the left, and look alongside either Wi-Fi or Ethernet at the right depending on which your Mac is using.

How to connect to your Mac (or PC) from iPad or iPhone

• On the iOS device open the VNC Viewer app and click the plus icon at the top right. In the dialog box that appears, type the address you discovered in the paragraph above, and in the name field type something memorable and identifiable such as Mac Desktop.
• Click Done, and then the Connect button. You’ll be warned you’re using an unencrypted connection. This is unfortunate but there’s no way to avoid it, so tap the Connect link at the top right of the window.
• You’ll then be prompted for the username and password of the Mac account you want to log into. You should type the “short” version of your username – usually your first name, or the first whole word of the longer version of the username.
• You’ll connect immediately and see a tips panel showing some control tricks. However, in short, the mouse cursor is represented by a small dot and you “shove” it around – push up on the screen, for example, and wherever the mouse cursor happens to be it will also move up. It can take a bit of getting used to. Tapping on the screen is the equivalent of clicking. Use the pinch-expand gesture to zoom in and out of the desktop.
• To make a keyboard appear for typing, tap the keyboard icon on the toolbar at the top of the screen.
• To disconnect from the remote Mac, tap the X icon on the toolbar.

If you want to connect to a Linux desktop, you can install a VNC server package (just check your distro’s package archive), and the same VNC Viewer app can be used to connect as described above.

Method 5: Connect to Windows computers from iPad or iPhone

Microsoft has a surprising number of apps available for iOS and one of them is Microsoft Remote Desktop . This lets you remotely connect to the desktop of Windows computers. It’s free of charge.

Microsoft has put together a FAQ addressing many of the features and capabilites of Remote Desktop, so it’s well worth investigating that if you’re interesting in using the method. Here’s an overview of the process: 

• Before using Remote Desktop you’ll need to ensure it’s activated on the Windows computer you want to access. This can be done by clicking Start and typing Allow Remote Access To Your Computer.

• Then click OK.
• You’ll also need to know the IP address of the Windows computer. Click Start, then type cmd. In the DOS box that appears, type ipconfig and hit Enter. In the output, look for the line that reads IPv4 Address and make a note. Then close the DOS box.

• You’ll see the remote PC’s desktop and your fingertip moves the mouse cursor. To switch to touch controls, as if using a touchscreen PC, tap the IP address toolbar at the top of the screen, and select the option at the bottom right on the sidebars that appear. To bring up a keyboard for typing, tap the keyboard icon in the toolbar at the top of the screen.
• To disconnect, tap the toolbar and then tap the X at the left of the thumbnail listing at the left of the screen.

Here’s how to use SharePlay in iOS 15.1 to share music, videos, and more

SharePlay is one of the most highly anticipated features that was pushed back a bit from the initial iOS 15 launch. Now that it’s officially arrived with iOS 15.1 , here’s a hands-on look at how to use SharePlay on iPhone and iPad to share music, videos, and your whole screen.

Outside of Apple’s apps like Music and TV, official support for SharePlay will be dependent on third parties to develop the integration. But the great news is that even if an app/content you want to share doesn’t have support, you can share your entire screen with others which should serve well as a workaround in most cases.

Let’s get right into the different ways to use SharePlay on iPhone and iPad .

How to use SharePlay on iPhone and iPad

• Make sure you’ve updated your iPhone or iPad to iOS 15.1 (SharePlay is coming later this fall to macOS Monterey)
• Start a FaceTime call (they must be running iOS 15.1 too)
• When you play music or video, it will automatically be shared with SharePlay
• But the other person will need to accept the SharePlay/screen sharing request
• After starting a FaceTime call, you can also tap the “rectangle + person” icon to share your entire screen including third-party apps and content
• To end SharePlay or screen sharing, tap the icon in the top left of your iPhone, tap the SharePlay icon, then End SharePlay/Screen Sharing

Screen sharing with SharePlay

Here’s how the process looks to use SharePlay on iPhone with screen sharing:

After you initiate SharePlay via screen sharing or playing music/video content, the other person will need to choose to join, they should look for the “Open” button:

After starting to screen share, you can tap the purple icon in the top left corner to get your FaceTime controls back.

You can share music and video with Apple’s Music and TV apps or with screen sharing in the Photos app or any other app. Official support will come on an app-by-app basis for third-party services like Disney+, HBO Max, and more.

But keep in mind the person you’re sharing with will may need to have a subscription to those third-party services for that to work.

However, if you want to share things like YouTube videos or other apps, most will work with the screen sharing SharePlay option.

Straight to SharePlay music and video

If you start a FaceTime call and head right to the media you want to share (with apps that have SharePlay support), here’s how that looks. With this process, you don’t have to start screen sharing first.

You can swipe the video of the person you’re sharing with out of the frame to hide it, tap the arrow to bring it back.

How to end SharePlay on iPhone and iPad

To end SharePlay, head back to the FaceTime app (shortcut with the green or purple icon in the top left corner), then tap End SharePlay.

You can also end the entire FaceTime call to end the SharePlay session.

Have you purchased an iPad2 (i.e., a second generation iPad) as stated - or something else entirely?

The second generation iPad can only be updated to iOS 9.3.5 (WiFi Only models) or iOS 9.3.6 (WiFi & Cellular models).

Apple ended update support for iPad2 in September 2016. This iPad cannot be updated to iOS 10 or later major versions of iOS as the internal hardware does not meet the minimum technical requirements for new versions of iOS/iPadOS. iPad2 is a 32-bit architecture device, whilst all recent versions of iOS/iPadOS are designed for 64-bit hardware platforms. iPad2 is effectively obsolete.

I’m a teacher. I access a web page to start a group meeting with my class. The sw we use requires us to use an Internet browser. I’m not sharing on a TV nor all the people in the group use iPad or Mac. We share our screens in turn to solve exercises. I can’t share MY screen: Safari says the functionality is not supported, Chrome says I should use Safari for full support, Firefox, Avast Secure Browser and other browsers work even worse. Working on Windows is fine. Working with a Mac is fine, too, I suppose, but can’t say for sure. Is there any way to make it work on my iPad?

With AirPlay, you can mirror your iPhone or iPad's screen on your Mac or your Apple TV . But what if you have a Windows PC? There is a app available on the Microsoft store that lets you mirror your iPhone or iPad on any Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC. It is completely free --- it just displays a watermark every once in a while.

You can download the app from Microsoft's website , or search the Microsoft Store that comes with Windows. Click the Start button, type "Microsoft Store," then hit Enter or click "Open."

Search for "Airplay Screen Mirroring Receiver," and click the indicated result.

Click "Install," and wait for it to download. Then click "Open."

AirPlay Screen Mirroring will launch immediately. The default name of the receiver is your PC's name, though you can change that by clicking the pencil icon if you want.

You should see a message "The receiver has been successfully started" near the top. If you don't, try restarting the application.

After you start the mirroring app on your Windows PC, you need to connect to it from your iPhone.

Open the Control Center by swiping up from the bottom, or down from the top right edge, depending on which iPhone you have. Then tap "Screen Mirroring."

Your PC name, or whatever name you chose, should appear on a list of available devices. If it isn't there, double-check that your PC and your iPhone are on the name Wi-Fi network, and that the mirroring app has access to the LAN through Windows Firewall .

Now, whatever you do on your iPhone or iPad displays in the AirPlay receiver window, including music and videos. You can enlarge the window to make the content from your device larger on your PC's screen.

To stop mirroring iOS or iPadOS to your PC, close the Airplay Receiver by clicking the X button in the top right corner of the window. Your PC will not be visible on in the AirPlay settings on your iPhone or iPad anymore.

As we mentioned earlier, you can mirror your Apple device or Mac to your TV using Apple TV . But if you don't have an Apple TV, you can also mirror anything from your computer to your TV using a Google Chromecast . You can also read more about AirPlay and other wireless display standards here .

How to enable Safari push notifications on iPhone or iPad

iPhone users can add websites to their iOS 17 home screens as progressive web apps, and essentially turn sites into standalone apps. However, there are a few features typically reserved for iOS apps, and one of those is push notifications. If you do want to receive push notifications from a website, there is a workaround in the Settings app that involves flipping a WebKit flag. This gives web apps the ability to send push notifications through Safari, as long as the website natively supports browser notifications. Although Apple announced this functionality in 2022 and shipped it in 2023, it's still considered an experimental feature, so you'll have to follow the steps below to use them.

iOS 17 review: The bubble is now greener on the other side

How to enable push notifications in safari.

If you have a recent iPhone , or an iPad running version 16.4 or later, you can follow the steps below to enable Safari push notifications for specific websites. By doing so, you will receive alerts similar to those of native iOS apps, helping you know when your favorite websites publish timely content.

1. Open the Settings app on iOS 17.

2. Scroll down to the Safari tab, and tap on it.

3. Find the Advanced tab at the bottom of the screen and press it.

4. Tap the Feature Flags tab.

5. You will see a long list of WebKit flags organized in alphabetical order. Look for Notifications and flip the toggle them on.

How to add a website to your iOS Home Screen

After that, you'll need to manually add each website you'd like to receive notifications from to your Home Screen. Here's how:

1. Launch the Safari app and visit the website you'd like to receive push notifications from.

2. Tap on the Share button in the middle of the bottom bar

3. Choose Add to Home Screen .

4. Optionally rename the web app, then tap Add in the top right corner.

5. It will now appear on your Home Screen as a native app. Launch the newly-added web app.

6. Find the website's notifications settings and enable push notifications.

7. iOS will ask for your permission to enable them. Tap Allow to finish.

Now, the web app will be able to notify you as long as you keep it on your Home Screen. If you delete it, then the permission is revoked automatically, and you won't be able to receive alerts from it until you add it again.

Should you use push notifications from websites on iPhone?

As you can see, the process to enable Safari push notifications on iOS and iPadOS is more complex when compared to macOS because you need to add the web app to the Home Screen for it to work. On new Macs , you can just allow or deny website permissions without needing to bookmark them in any way. Regardless, it can be done now on newer versions of iOS 16 or later. It's useful, but be sure to choose wisely which websites you give access to notifications in Safari. If you give permission to the wrong website, your iPhone could quickly be cluttered with spam.

How To Use Delta Emulator and Play Nintendo Games on iOS

• While emulators are legal in the U.S., ROMs are a bit more complicated.
• The Delta app requires iOS 14 or later.
• The app is also available for iPad, Mac, and Vision Pro.

Gamers, your time is here: the Delta emulator app is now available for iOS, and with it arrives a wealth of emulation and features. This expansive app hosts an impressive selection of classic video game consoles, providing the ability to play thousands of retro games on your iPhone. Below, I’ll show you everything you need to know to start gaming.

What to Know About the Delta Emulator

Apple finally eased restrictions on emulators, and Delta is the second Apple-approved option to be officially listed on the App Store. What I love about it is that it’s 100% free. You can play a wide variety of retro Nintendo games without having to sit through ads—note that very few free emulators offer an ad-free experience. You can learn more about the Delta emulator here .

What Emulators Are Available on the Delta App?

The following emulators (game systems) are available through the Delta app:

• Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)
• Super Nintendo Entertain System (SNES)
• Nintendo 64
• Game Boy and Game Boy Color
• Game Boy Advance
• Nintendo DS

How To Get Nintendo DS Games on Delta Game Emulator?

While every emulator available within the app works as is, there are specific BIOS files that you’ll need for the Nintendo DS emulator. I can’t link to them for copyright reasons, but you can easily find them on any search engine. After you download the necessary files, remember to select Save to Files from the Share menu.

The BIOS files needed for the Nintendo DS emulator are as follows:

• firmware.bin

Time needed:  2 minutes

Once you’ve downloaded these files, adding them to the Delta emulator is easy—here’s how:

From here, the Nintendo DS emulator will be fully operational. However, note that you may need to use iTunes File Transfer to add games—DS ROMs are typically several gigabytes large. Downloading them through your iPhone may be a hassle, so I’ll cover this more below.

How to Download ROMs for the Delta Emulator

Again, pirating officially licensed games breaks copyright laws, so I won’t be linking to them. However, homebrew games, and even some ROM hacks, are typically okay to share. Places like Homebrew Hub can have a library of legal, independently created games to play.

ROMs will either be in a compressed file (such as .ZIP) or a rather obvious file extension (.GBA for a Game Boy Advanced game, for example). I’ve had no problems importing both, but mileage may vary on compressed files. Should one give you issues, try extracting the file.

With that in mind, there are two primary ways to add ROMs to the Delta app: either through iTunes/Folder or the iOS Files app. Let’s take a look at both, as one can be easier than the other.

1. Adding ROMs Via the iOS Files App

Personally, this is the easiest way to add ROMs since it doesn’t require a computer. However, guiding your ROM downloads to the right place can be tricky.

For this how-to guide, I’ll download the game Sips from Homebrew Hub.

• First, navigate to the Homebrew Hub page for Sips .
• Scroll down and click Download Rom .

This method can be spotty depending on the browser you use, so make sure the ROM file makes its way to your Files app.

2. Adding ROMs Using iTunes

This method may be easier for those who have a hard time downloading ROMs directly on their iPhone, although you’ll have to use a Mac or PC. Let’s take a look.

• First, download the ROM.
• Next open iTunes .
• Navigate to the iPhone icon.
• Select File Sharing from the left-hand column.
• Click the Delta app and then Drag and Drop the ROMs you want into this section.

3. Adding ROMs Using Finder

If your Mac is running macOS Catalina or later, you’ll need to use Finder.

• Connect your iPhone to your Mac, then select your iPhone from a Finder window.

As you can probably tell, it’s pretty easy to add ROMs to the Delta app once you have the files in the correct location. The hardest part is probably getting them there.

How to Add Emulator Skins

One of the cooler features of Delta is it lets you change emulator skins. This is really easy to do, plus you can find tons of skins on sites like Delta GitHub . Adding skins is similar to adding ROMs, so again, ensure the skins are in your Files folder.

• You can now select the imported skin/s on Delta.

How to Remap Controllers in Delta

If you need to remap a controller, simply follow these steps:

• Select NES to open the drop-down menu and choose the controller you want to edit.
• Now, tap the button you want to change and press a button on the physical controller to remap it.

Controllers Supported By Delta App

The Delta app will support any third-party controller that works with iOS. However, here are some popular examples:

• Nintendo Switch Online Controller
• Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons
• Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
• Xbox Wireless Controller (Series X and S)
• Xbox Adapter Controller
• Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2
• Xbox Wireless Controller with Bluetooth Model 1708
• Playstation 4 and 5 Wireless Controllers

Adding a controller is usually as simple as navigating to Settings > Bluetooth on your iPhone, checking if the controller is discoverable, and then selecting it from the Other Devices list.

Additional Controls and Options

Once a game is running, you can open an additional menu that lets you fast-forward through scenes, hold down buttons, and even enable cheats. You’ll see this menu on the main screen while playing. It’s also where you’ll find your options to save and load games. You can save games within emulators, although I suggest using the Delta app’s Save function—it’s more reliable and accurate. Take a look around this section to see what you find.

While Android users may laugh over Apple slowly entering the world of emulation, the fact is it’s never too late to start. You may also want to know about the best Playstation 2 emulators for iOS .
