A flaw in Apple's Mirroring feature compromises personal privacy when used on work Macs. Personal iPhone apps become visible to the company's IT department, as mirrored apps are cataloged like native macOS apps.
While app data isn't shared, the mere presence of certain apps like health or dating services can reveal sensitive personal information. What is being shared is the metadata about the presence of applications on the mirrored iPhone.
In environments where device monitoring is standard, employees risk unintended exposure of their personal app usage.
To mitigate this risk, avoid using Mirroring on work devices. Companies should revise policies to address this vulnerability, and Apple must implement stricter data segregation to protect user privacy in mixed-use settings.
