Same. Unable to change the language using Macbook’s built-in keyboard.


None of the ways of switching the language that I can use in macOS own windows (other than iPhone Mirroring), or that I can use on iPhone with an external keyboard, work with mirroring. Including:

  • Caps Lock
  • Pressing fn/globe key
  • Double pressing fn/globe key
  • Ctrl+space (pressing or holding)
  • etc.


None of the suggested tricks worked, including:

  • Disabling or enabling full keyboard access in accessibility
  • Disabling or enabling caps lock language switch in keyboards -> hardware keyboard
  • Quitting mirroring, changing the language on the iPhone, then restarting mirroring
  • etc.


The only language that can be typed while mirroring is English.

The problem is not which languages are downloaded on the device. When operating from the device itself languages work fine. The problem is only when using iPhone mirroring from Mac to the iPhone: the language key sequence (globe key or ctrl-space) don't work. ctrl-cmd-space for emoji also stopped working in the latest MacOS and iOS.
