Show pointer
When you need to click precisely on iPhone, turn on “Show pointer”. The iPhone screen becomes a trackpad, so your finger never covers the pointer. Dragging with three fingers works like on a Mac trackpad: press at the pointer and drag to move or resize a window.
Keyboard, trackpad and mouse
Connect a keyboard, trackpad or mouse to the iPad and it's like sitting at the Mac, with shortcuts such as ⌘C and ⌘V.
Type with your own keyboard
The iPad or iPhone keyboard appears only when you tap a text field on the Mac. Type in your language or use dictation, and the words go straight to the Mac.
