Just like the Android version, it connects to a Linux PC running the KDE Connect application to a phone or tablet. You can then synchronize your clipboard across desktop and mobile, share files and links, and run commands on a PC from a phone. You can also use an iPhone as a virtual touchpad or presentation remote for a linked PC.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 690px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-804094 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/KDE-Connect-iOS.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"690\" height=\"498\" data-credittext=\"KDE e.V.\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">KDE Connect on iOS <span class=\"imagecredit\">KDE e.V.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There are <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/invent.kde.org\/network\/kdeconnect-ios\/-\/blob\/master\/README.md#known-behavior-and-problems\">a few limitations<\/a> in the iOS app compared to KDE Connect for Android. There\u2019s no support for mirroring notifications, and Apple <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly doesn\u2019t allow background services on iOS and iPadOS, so features like clipboard sync might be buggy. Still, a partially-functional app is better than no app at all.<\/p>\n<p>KDE Connect has been a popular option for connecting mobile devices to Linux PCs for years, especially since it\u2019s completely free and open-source. Most other connecting services only worked through the use of browser extensions, such as <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pushbullet.com\/\">Pushbullet<\/a>, or had other limitations when paired with Linux desktops.<\/p>\n<p>The KDE Connect desktop application is available in the software repositories for most Linux distributions, and\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/extensions.gnome.org\/extension\/1319\/gsconnect\/\">GSConnect<\/a> is an alternative for systems using the Gnome desktop environment. The new iPhone and iPad app joins the mobile apps for Plasma Mobile, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/openrepos.net\/content\/r1tschy\/sailfish-connect\">SailfishOS<\/a>, and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=org.kde.kdeconnect_tp\">Android<\/a>. Apple says you\u2019ll need iOS\/iPadOS 14.0 or later to use KDE Connect, and the download size is only 5.1MB.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><br \/>\n<!-- .entry-footer -->\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
