Universal Control

Having just updated both my iPad and my M1 Mac to the new betas, I guess it is safe to say that Universal Control isn't a live feature yet? (Or I am just an *****?)

Same here. Hope this isn’t one of these features which get announced and then released in a .5 macOS/iOS version (like Messages in iCloud…).

Same here, Mac mini M1 and iPad Pro 2020. Sidecar works so that confirms most of the Apple ID, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth requirements. Glad I checked here, although spent last 20 mins looking for a tick box on both devices.

Same on M1 iPad Pro and M1 Air, even tried it with a magic trackpad paired to both. Can't find any setting or configuration info to see if there's any requirements 🤷‍♂️

but what does this feature "universal control" do, or how would you like to use it?

  • It allows you to use your Macbook M1 MacOS 12 trackpad or mouse also on iPad iOS 15 if devices are next to each other. You simply need to swipe through the MacBook screen edge towards an iPad and the cursor will appear on it. No need for a second trackpad/mouse. Tim showed it during last event, it's on Youtube as well. You can also swipe files etc.

Universal Control works for me. I'm running Monterey 21A5284e on an M1 MBA and the latest version of iPadOS public beta on a third generation iPad Pro.

  • Did you need to do anything to enable this as I'm running an M1 Mac mini and iPad Pro's all on the latest beta's and can't get it working?

    Thanks
