It’s not called the wheel, it’s called the carousel.

Screens 5.5 is more than an update—it’s a reinvention. Introducing the Carousel, a bold, intuitive way to interact with your remote computer.

The Carousel is elegance in motion—a sleek, circular toolbar that floats effortlessly on your screen. It’s there when you need it, and when you don’t, it gracefully steps aside—always present, never intrusive. Freedom to focus. Power at your fingertips.

Paired with the Apple Pencil, it’s magic. A gentle squeeze brings the Carousel to life at the tip of your Pencil. Another squeeze, and it vanishes—seamlessly blending utility with artistry.

Prefer touch? The Carousel dances to your command. A simple double-tap with two fingers summons it, ready to be moved or activated with a single tap. It’s not just a toolbar; it’s an extension of your hand.

This isn’t just a new feature—it’s a statement. Screens 5.5 on iPhone and iPad just became smarter, smoother, and more intuitive. The Carousel is your new co-pilot, and we can’t wait for you to take it for a spin.

Find Carousel waiting for you in the app settings under ‘Controls’—because simplicity should never be out of reach.

Elevated Apple Pencil Support

The Apple Pencil is no longer just a simple tool—it’s now your command center. With Screens 5.5, you can assign specific actions to a pencil squeeze or double-tap, putting ultimate control right at your fingertips.

Customize these actions in the app settings on your iPad, and make remote access feel as natural as using your own computer.

Screens 5.5 has arrived on the App Store—ready to redefine the way you connect.
