iPhone Toolbars
Docked Toolbar
iPad
On iPad, the docked toolbar is anchored at the bottom of the display, available in both portrait and landscape modes.
iPhone
On iPhone, the docked toolbar adjusts based on orientation:
- Portrait Mode: Anchored at the bottom.
- Landscape Mode: Positioned on the left side.
Landscape Mode
Portrait Mode
Both versions allow scrolling through the toolbar to access additional buttons not immediately visible.
Floating Toolbar
The floating toolbar is exclusive to iPad and offers the same functionality as the docked toolbar but with added flexibility. It can be moved up or down the screen and collapsed for a more compact appearance.
Expanded Mode
You can swipe up or down to reposition the toolbar when expanded.
Collapsed Mode
When collapsed, swipe in any direction (up, down, left, or right) to move the toolbar.
Quick Menu
In collapsed mode, tap and hold the chevron (>) button to access a quick menu with essential commands, eliminating the need to expand the toolbar:
Carousel Toolbar
The Carousel is a circular, floating toolbar available on both iPhone and iPad. It can be effortlessly positioned anywhere on the screen with a simple drag gesture using either a finger or an Apple Pencil, offering customizable placement to match your preferences.
When you’re interacting with the remote computer, the Carousel minimizes its presence to stay out of the way:
Note: The Carousel is designed for interaction using an Apple Pencil or your fingers. Trackpad and mouse interactions are not supported, ensuring a smooth experience and preventing conflicts when controlling the cursor on the remote computer.
