Xiaomi is building a much closer bridge between its smartphones and Apple's devices. Xiaomi HyperOS 4 brings tighter integration with Apple's iOS, allowing Xiaomi phones to share content with iPhones and stay in sync with them, while Mac and iPad owners can control a Xiaomi phone from a larger screen. The update debuted on the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max, and a wider rollout is expected on October 15\. This guide covers what the new cross-system features offer and what you need to use them.

## Share Photos, Files, Contacts, and Web Pages With an iPhone

Cross-platform sharing is among the most notable additions. With HyperOS 4, Xiaomi smartphone owners will be able to send photos, files, contacts, and web pages to an iPhone, covering the kinds of content people routinely want to move between devices.

## Access Cloud Photo Albums on Both Xiaomi and iPhone

HyperOS 4 also makes it possible to open cloud photo albums on either smartphone. Whether you pick up a Xiaomi device or an iPhone, your stored pictures stay within easy reach.

## Real-Time Notifications and Message Replies With Two-Way Sync

The integration also reaches everyday communication. Thanks to two-way sync, notifications arrive in real time across the two ecosystems, and instant message replies work between them as well. For anyone who uses a Xiaomi phone and an iPhone side by side, that should make switching between devices far less disruptive.

## Control Your Xiaomi Phone From a Mac or iPad With Mi Connect Desktop

Apple's computers and tablets are part of the picture, too. With the Mi Connect Desktop app, Mac and iPad owners can control their Xiaomi phone from the larger display.

## HyperOS 4 Release Date: Xiaomi 18 Pro Max Debut and Expected October 15 Rollout

These features are part of the latest HyperOS 4 release, which first appeared on the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max. A wider rollout is expected on October 15, when the update should start reaching a larger number of devices.

## What You Need to Use the Cross-System Features

A few requirements apply before the integration will work. Users will need:

- Xiaomi's connectivity app
- A shared Xiaomi account

## What HyperOS 4 Means for Xiaomi and iPhone Users

HyperOS 4 gives Xiaomi users practical new ways to work alongside Apple devices: sharing photos, files, contacts, and web pages with an iPhone, viewing cloud albums on either phone, staying in step through synced notifications and replies, and controlling a Xiaomi phone from a Mac or iPad. With a wider rollout expected on October 15, more owners will soon be able to see how well these features perform in daily use.
