Once you have connected both your iPhone and the computer, you will be able to access files and apps on your computer over the Internet with the Chrome Remote Desktop.

Another app that supports the VNC feature, Remote Tap 5 facilitates an environment where the user can spot display of the computer and carry out the necessary operations. Another advantage with this app is that the user can zoom the PC view by 4 times. Hence, it forms a great part of the list of top iPhone apps to remotely control the Mac/PC.

This is the most acclaimed iPhone app which offers 8 features within one app. It enables the user to monitor his Mac or PC with the help of iPhone. One of the unique features equipped in this app is that it catches the IP address of the computer without taking much time and makes use of Wi-Fi network to control the actions of PC/Mac.

A Remote Desktop Gateway (RD Gateway) lets you connect to a remote computer on a corporate network from anywhere on the Internet. You can create and manage your gateways in the preferences of the app or while setting up a new desktop connection.

Drive redirection is supported for remote resources, so that you can save files created with a remote application locally to your Mac. The redirected folder is always your home directory displayed as a network drive in the remote session.

By default, the remote session will use the same keyboard locale as the OS you're running the client on. (If your Mac is running an en-us OS, it will be used for the remote sessions as well.) If the OS keyboard locale is not used, check the keyboard setting on the remote PC and change it manually. See the Remote Desktop Client FAQ for more information about keyboards and locales.

Why would it be necessary to access a Mac from an iPhone? Various use cases show why connecting your iPhone with your Mac might be required. The first is rather mundane yet obvious: to remotely access files stored on the computer. In another scenario, there's the usefulness of troubleshooting it provides. Whether it's being able to connect to your Mac at work or popping into a family member's computer on the other side of the country, remote access is a great way to fix a computer-related problem.

For many years, Apple offered the Back to My Mac remote access feature in macOS (and early Mac OS X). The feature utilized Bonjour to discover and connect to external devices via the internet. Apple discontinued Back to My Mac in macOS Mojave in 2019.

Even with Back to My Mac's demise, there are other ways to remotely access and control your Mac from an iPhone and iPad. Some options are easier to use than others, and each varies in its purpose, as you'll see below.

Install the free Google Chrome browser app (opens in new tab) on your Mac. Visit (opens in new tab) through the Chrome browser and look into your Google account if you haven't already done so. Click the button for 'Set up remote access.' Next, click the icon 'Add to Chrome.' Follow the on-screen instructions to install the remote access extension on your Mac.

There are paid remote desktop options (opens in new tab) available to save you a step or two. Nonetheless, you can still get the job done for free using Google Chrome. Paid options worth considering include TeamViewer (opens in new tab) and LogMeIn (opens in new tab).

Install the Chrome Remote Desktop app (opens in new tab) on your iPhone, then open it. Sign in to the same Google account that was used on your Mac. Once you do, you'll see a link to access your computer remotely. Click on it. Enter the six-digit pin assigned above the tap on the arrow icon. You can now control your Mac from your iPhone.

There are various options available within the app to control the Mac, including the ability to disconnect. However, Chrome Remote Desktop must stay active on your Mac to continue working. To turn this off when not in use, go back into the Chrome app on your Mac, and click on the trash can icon next to the computer name on the Chrome Remote Desktop page.

An iPhone isn't ideal for controlling a Mac from a mobile device. This is the No. 1 reason Apple hasn't released a native remote feature. And yet, it's possible by turning on Mac Screen Sharing and using a third-party solution such as Google Chrome or a paid option.

It would be nice if Apple made it easier to control a Mac from iPhone in the future. Maybe this will finally become a reality if future iPhone displays get bigger! Until then, more hoop-jumping is required to get the job done.

Note: Universal Control brings Mac and iPad even close by allowing you to control multiple Macs and iPads with a single keyboard and mouse. By doing so, moving windows back and forth between devices is that much easier.
