Dell to let you interact with your iPhone apps from PC

Back In 2018, Dell released its Mobile Connect app, which lets you connect your Dell computer to your phone so you can respond to phone calls, messages and receive notifications from apps directly from your PC. In the coming months, Dell says you will be able to wirelessly transfer photos and videos and interact with apps from your iOS device while using their Mobile Connect app, two features that were previously exclusive to using Mobile Connect with Android phones.

Apparently, app mirroring seems to be fairly straightforward, as shown in a video on Dell’s website. When using the Mobile Connect app on a supported Dell computer, you can scroll through and interact with things in the app, just like you would if you were using the app itself.

You can only transfer photos and videos

Since Mobile Connect will only let you transfer photos and videos between your iOS device and your Dell computer, though, you might want to use something like Google Drive if you want to transfer other types of files back and forth.

Dell says the new integrations with iOS will work with XPS, Inspiron, Vostro, Alienware, and G Series PCs from January 2018 or later. We haven’t seen any indication that the integrations will work with Dell’s Latitude laptops yet, but it will be interesting to see if they do.

Mobile Connect for iOS is already available without the new features, so you can use it now to get calls and notifications on your Dell PC.
