Thank you for the question - Yes, there is ONE setting you have to adjust. You need to shut down „Mirror display“ and then the magic happens. I had the same issue and discovered this hint by watching a few youtube clips - interesting that no one (In the sources I checked) mentioned this 100% Key to success… 🤷🏻‍♂️… but it works. No, you don’t need a Magic Keyboard and a mouse, but you need to connect (any) bluetooth keyboard to allow the function to work.

AKA:


  1. M1 Ipad
  2. USB C
  3. External Keyboard
  4. Adjusted settings to NOT MIRROR (see the screenshot)
  5. Active stage manager


Have fun!
