1. Ensure Wireless Connectivity

Both your iPhone and MacBook Air M1 must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. This will facilitate seamless and stable screen mirroring.

2. Activate Screen Mirroring on iPhone

Go to the Control Center on your iPhone by swiping down from the top-right corner. Tap on the "Screen Mirroring" icon, which resembles a rectangle with three wavy lines and an upward arrow. Wait for your MacBook Air M1 to appear on the list of available devices.

3. Select MacBook Air M1

Once your MacBook Air M1 appears in the list, tap on its name. Your iPhone's screen should immediately start mirroring on your MacBook Air M1.

4. Configure Mirroring Options

After successful mirroring, a blue bar will appear at the top of your MacBook Air M1's screen. Click on the blue bar to access mirroring options. You can choose between "Mirror iPhone" to display your iPhone's screen as is or "Extend Display" to use your MacBook Air M1 and iPhone as separate displays.

5. Adjust Resolution and Orientation

In the mirroring options, you can also adjust the resolution and orientation of your iPhone's screen on your MacBook Air M1. Select the desired resolution and orientation that suits your preferences and the task at hand.

6. Audio Output Control

Depending on your setup, you may want to control the audio output during mirroring. Go to the "Sound" section in your MacBook Air M1's System Preferences and select the audio output device you prefer, such as your MacBook Air M1's built-in speakers or an external output.

7. Enable AirPlay

If you encounter any issues with screen mirroring, ensure that AirPlay is enabled on both your iPhone and MacBook Air M1. Go to Settings > General on your iPhone and turn on AirPlay. On your MacBook Air M1, go to System Preferences > Displays and select the "AirPlay Display" tab to enable AirPlay.

8. Troubleshoot Connection Issues

If you are unable to screen mirror successfully, check the following: Verify that both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network, restart both devices, disable and re-enable screen mirroring on your iPhone, and ensure that there are no physical obstructions or interference affecting the Wi-Fi connection.
