Screens 5.10 adds two highly-requested remote desktop features

Screens, the remote desktop app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro, is adding two highly-requested features. Version 5.10 introduces remote Mac audio and automatic desktop resizing through Apple’s High Performance Screen Sharing technology.

The remote desktop can now adjust to your screen when you rotate your iPhone or iPad, change your multitasking layout, or resize a connection window on Mac and Vision Pro. You can also choose a fixed resolution.

Remote audio lets you hear sound from a compatible Mac, while HEVC streaming promises smoother video, scrolling, and animations.

Edovia says a fast, stable connection with low latency is required. Screens can fall back to standard screen updates when network conditions deteriorate while preserving features like resizing and display privacy.

The update also introduces a Metal-based renderer designed to improve performance across connections, including Windows, Linux, and Raspberry Pi.

Other changes include a Liquid Glass connection carousel and floating toolbar improvements on iPhone and iPad.

Edovia’s announcement has the full rundown. Screens 5.10 is available on the App Store as a free download with in-app purchases. Subscriptions start at $4.99/month or $29.99/year, with a $199.99 lifetime option also available.
