Fixed the cursor sometimes freezing after a brief network drop. “Enter Pairing Code” now works instead of only showing the camera. Swipes in Direct touch now follow your Pointer settings to move the cursor or drag objects.

In Trackpad Mode, the zoomed-in view now follows the cursor: it pans when the cursor nears the edge, so you no longer have to drag it back by hand. Your zoom level is remembered for next time.

The in-app guide now uses the same name as the menu for the Second Display button. Plus minor improvements.

Settings, reorganised: - The top level is now just Pointer, Keyboard and Game Controller; everything controller-related lives under Game Controller - Pointer gets a live preview: drag Cursor Size, Loupe Size or Magnification and see how it will look once connected

Six new languages: French, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish (Mexico) and Vietnamese. TouchNow follows your iPhone's language setting.

Laying out the on-screen controller is much easier now: lock buttons you've positioned, snap while dragging, and undo a step. Before, you could only drag one button at a time, it was easy to nudge a finished one while adjusting its neighbour, and there was no way back. Now locked buttons won't move, dragging snaps to the centres of other buttons with a guide line, and one tap of undo puts things back. • Multi-select: move several at once, or align them six ways (left, right, top, bottom, centre horizontally, centre vertically) • Slightly smaller key labels — and what you see while editing now matches the real size. Editing used to render them a quarter smaller, so you were laying out to the wrong proportions

A retro handheld shell for game mode: - Pick a shape and the sides of the screen become the body - the same height as the picture, so the whole thing looks like one handheld - Four shapes, ten colours; the two twin-stick shapes have an analog stick on each side - Tap a button on the shell to rebind it - it shares one set of bindings with physical controllers Also: - Toolbar icons are now readable over white documents and bright pages - Fixed several places where English, Japanese and Simplified Chinese still showed Traditional Chinese

Getting started is clearer: - The guide now begins with installing TouchNow Host on your Mac. It used to jump straight to permissions, skipping the first step entirely - Before you've paired, the screen follows the real order: send the install link to your Mac first, pair once it's installed - "Send the install link to my Mac" now opens the page in your language instead of always Chinese

Two fixes: - In Direct mode, pinching and then dragging made the picture jump, and you could push it past the edge of the video - A Live Activity could stay on screen after the app was closed

Arranging your game controller is much easier: buttons no longer jump to your finger when you tap them, and a connected physical controller pauses while you arrange, so you can't accidentally control your Mac. Buttons and sticks now give haptic feedback. Your video quality choice is remembered instead of resetting to Automatic after a disconnect. With Mac host 1.0.15: "Sharp" in trackpad mode now actually raises the resolution — it had no effect on iPhone before — and remote connections use a higher resolution too.

Fixed text input occasionally failing inside games. The connecting screen is easier to read. Substantially improved VoiceOver, Dynamic Type and contrast support.

• Your iPhone now shows the Mac's real pointer shape — text cursor, hand, resize — instead of always drawing an arrow (requires Mac app 1.0.12 or later) • Scanning the pairing QR code connects right away; no extra tap • Fixed first-time pairing: the list no longer shows unpaired Macs, and the instructions no longer point you at a QR code that isn't there • The "pairing expired" alert now takes you straight to re-pairing • Virtual keyboard keys give clear visual feedback and haptics when pressed • Fixed parts of the English, Japanese and Simplified Chinese interface that still showed Traditional Chinese

• The pointer now changes shape with your Mac: an I-beam over text, a hand over links, a resize arrow on window edges. Before, it was always an arrow no matter what your Mac was showing. (Requires the updated Mac app.) • The loupe gains a Magnification setting (1.5×–5×). You could only change its size before — now how wide a area you see and how large things get inside it are separate. • The fallback arrow, used when no Mac pointer has arrived yet, was redrawn to match macOS in both shape and colour. • Fixed: the QR scanner camera preview was rotated incorrectly when the iPhone or iPad was held in landscape.

Steadier remote connections: a brief outage on the connection server no longer interrupts an active stream. Your screen and input travel directly between your devices — the connection server has nothing to do with them. But until now, a momentary hiccup on that server would drop a live stream and show "Remote connection failed", even though the picture had been running perfectly the whole time. Now you only get told when something has actually gone wrong. • Corrected the pairing instructions: on the Mac it's "Pairing & Security" → "Pair New Device" • The first-run screen now tells you where to get the Mac app (touchmac.app)

A full MacBook keyboard, drawn to match the real thing. Turn it on in Settings. Esc, F1–F12, arrow keys, ⌘⌥⌃⇧ combinations and caps lock — all of it. The iOS keyboard can't send any of these, and they're exactly what you need when you're driving a Mac: Esc to stop a program in Terminal, ⌘Q to quit, ⌘Tab to switch apps, arrow keys to move through a list. Modifiers are sticky: tap one and it lights up, tap the next key and it releases — so combos work one-handed. Double-tap to lock it for repeated use. • The connecting screen is no longer a dead end — cancel any time, and if it takes too long it tells you what went wrong • Fixed the top toolbar overflowing on small iPhones and at larger text sizes • Filled in missing translations across all four languages

A complete in-app guide. The first time you connect, it walks you through the three control modes, typing, clipboard sync and using your device as a second display — all illustrated. You can reopen it any time from Settings. • Fixed taps not registering in Direct Touch mode • Fixed the layout only filling the left column on iPad • The app list no longer needs a manual refresh • Improved the game button layout editor

Use your iPhone as an extended display ・A new "Extended Display" option in the screen picker turns this iPhone into a real second desktop you can drag windows onto ・Not a mirror — it behaves like a real external monitor Complete game controller support ・Right stick now aims, L2/R2 map to right/left mouse buttons, L1/R1 are customisable ・New right-stick look speed setting ・Auto-landscape in game mode can be turned off, and leaving game mode now restores orientation Other improvements ・Chinese and emoji can now be typed into games and other apps ・The pointer is now visible on iPhone when you move the mouse on the Mac, in all three control modes ・No more large black bars above and below the picture in portrait ・Fixed magnifier behaviour near the screen edges ・Smoothness protection on weak networks

• Instant clicks: taps no longer wait ~0.3s for double-tap detection, so the pointer responds immediately. Triple-click is now supported (for example, selecting a whole line in a text editor). • Pinch to zoom in Direct Touch mode: magnify the screen to see fine detail, then pan with two fingers while zoomed in. • Game mode now rotates to landscape automatically. • Virtual gamepad layout editor: the panel can be collapsed so you can drag buttons to the upper half of the screen. Adding a control collapses it automatically while keeping "Set Keys" and "Delete" available. • If your Mac has multiple displays, you'll be asked which one to control when connecting. • The connecting screen now stays until the first frame arrives, eliminating a brief black screen. • Smoother cursor dragging and improved battery efficiency.

Strengthened the security of remote pairing and fixed an issue where remote sessions could be interrupted on some networks. Reconnection is now faster and more reliable.

Subscriptions now available; minor improvements.

Interface refinements and stability improvements.
