How Can I mirror iPhone to PC in Windows 11?

Mirroring iPhone to a PC running Windows 11 can be a great way to showcase your phone’s content on a bigger screen, whether it’s for work presentations, gaming, or just sharing photos with friends. Before you get all giddy about mirroring, be sure that your PC meets the necessary requirements for the apps you’re using. Some mirroring software may need a specific version of Windows or certain hardware specs.

Make sure you know how to activate the screen mirroring feature on your iPhone before you connect. Swipe down on the screen (iPhones with Face ID) or up from the bottom (older models) to find Screen Mirroring. I've had moments where I was sitting there waiting for the connection, and all I really needed to do was toggle that option on.

Sometimes your PC's firewall might block the connection. I found this out the hard way when my mirroring app wasn’t letting my iPhone connect. If you’re having issues, you might need to temporarily disable the firewall or add an exception for your mirroring software. Just remember to turn it back on afterward!
