Not only can you control your iPhone from your Mac, but you can also receive all its notifications on your Mac desktop.

This will help you stop looking at your iPhone so much when you need to get something done. Be careful, though, as iPhone notifications on your Mac can be pretty annoying.

To enable or disable this feature, you’ll need to do the following:

  1. Click on the Apple menu in the top left corner of your screen (the button with the Apple logo).
  2. Go to System Settings.
  3. On the left sidebar, scroll down and go to Notifications.
  4. Click on Allow notifications from iPhone.
  5. Turn on Allow notifications from iPhone.

And that’s it. Now, you’ll receive all your iPhone notifications on your Mac and iPhone simultaneously. Remember that for this to work, both devices must use the same Apple Account (Apple ID).

You can also use the settings window to choose which notifications you want to receive on your Mac. That way, you won’t go crazy getting all your notifications when you’re supposed to be working or studying.
