Screen visibility: Your screen will be completely visible to others so make sure about what you don’t want to share with others, you have three seconds to count down before your device starts sharing the screen.
Sharing Screen receiver Usage: If you are the receiver you can easily start a conversation on the messaging app, while screen sharing is running by just swiping the screen up so it will take a small space from the screen then start messaging or using your iPhone normal, use facebook, use telegram or any other app, check the below left screen 👇.
Battery Drain: an unexpected battery drain will affect your device while the call is running, so, it’s better to close unused apps and try to reduce the brightness if you are going to use the sharing screen for a long time.
Swipe Screen: Swipe the screen to the right/left for more widescreen space and use any app you want while the screen sharing is running. Check the below right screen below 👇
