With Wi-Fi connection enabled, you can wirelessly connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer.


Enable Wi-Fi Connection

Note: When you first pair a device via USB, iMazing automatically enables Wi-Fi connection. No additional configuration is needed for the initial setup.

Disconnect your device from the USB cable. The connection indicator in the Devices section changes to a Wi-Fi icon when both your device and computer are on the same local network.

What to keep in mind

  • Your device must be on the same Wi-Fi network as your computer.
  • Wi-Fi connections are slower than USB. For large data transfers, connect your device via USB instead.
  • If iMazing cannot reach your device over Wi-Fi, see the Connection Issues With iMazing troubleshooting article.
