Use your iPad as a second display for your Mac

Note: Sidecar is a Continuity feature. To use Continuity features, your devices must have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on and meet system requirements. See the Apple Support article System requirements for Continuity on Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Apple Watch.
