Allow using iPad (pro) as external display with different Apple IDs Currently it is not possible to use iPad Pro as an external display for the Mac unless they share the same Apple ID. This is not possible even between family members (Family Setting). This makes absolutely no sense. Calling all Apple engineers and product managers: please change this to allow using the iPad as an external display without requiring both having same AppleID. Or maybe there is a way to make this work, but I don't know how.
