With Wi-Fi connection enabled, you can wirelessly connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer.
Before you begin
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.
Configure Wi-Fi Connection Settings
If Wi-Fi connection was disabled or you need to adjust its settings, follow the steps below.
Select Your Device
From the iMazing home screen, select your device in the Devices section.
Open Device Settings
In the device sidebar, click Settings to open the Device Settings panel.
Toggle Wi-Fi Connection
In the Wi-Fi Connection panel, toggle Enable Wi-Fi Connection.
Important: On macOS Sequoia 15 and later, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network and allow iMazing and iMazing Mini to communicate with devices on your local network. Windows users are not affected by this requirement.
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.
