If youвЂ™d prefer not to use a code to connect, you can turn it off, use a password, or tighten security further by using one-time codes. Enter it on your device and after a few seconds more, your mirrored display will appear framed in matching hardware on your Mac.

In fact, youвЂ™ll also see an Apple TV icon next to your MacвЂ™s name, suggesting that Reflector works by tricking your devices into thinking that your Mac is an Apple TV.ДЄfter about four or five seconds, a code will appear on your MacвЂ™s screen. YouвЂ™ll see your Mac listed alongside any Apple TVs you own. Once installed on a Mac, open Control Center on an iPhone or iPad and select Screen Mirroring. ReflectorвЂ™s strength is in how easy it is to use. You can combine streaming and mirroring in any combination. I tried the app on my 2018 Intel-based Mac mini and my M1 MacBook Air, and both were fast, but the MacBook Air was noticeably faster, with only a very slight delay between what was happening on each device and on my Mac.

The other big change to Reflector is native support for M1 Macs. Frames are turned on by default, but you can turn them off if you prefer. New device frames have been added for AppleвЂ™s latest devices, so they look at home onscreen. Reflector has a fairly minimal menu bar interface, but itвЂ™s been redesigned to fit in with other modern Big Sur apps. Think of it as Apple TV and ChromecastвЂ™s mirroring and streaming features all on a Mac, thanks to this one simple menu bar app. In addition to mirroring iPhones and iPads, which is what I did in my testing, you can also mirror Android, Windows, and Chromebook devices. Whether youвЂ™re making screencasts, demoing apps for a group, or in a classroom environment, Reflector lets you wirelessly transmit your deviceвЂ™s UI to your Mac and record it too. Reflector 4, an app for mirroring iPhones, iPads, and other devices to the Mac, has been updated with a new design, M1 Mac support, and new onscreen device frames.
