The ability to display the visual output of a mobile operating system, specifically Android, on a desktop platform like macOS, enables users to view and interact with their mobile device’s interface on a larger screen. For example, a user can mirror their Android phone’s screen onto their Mac to present a mobile application during a meeting.
This functionality enhances productivity by providing a larger viewing area for mobile content, simplifying tasks like app testing and demonstrations. Historically, accomplishing this involved complex procedures or specialized hardware. Today, readily available software solutions and built-in features simplify the process, making it accessible to a broader audience.
