The video calling platform Zoom recently underwent iPhone Duo optimization, allowing users to see shared content like the host's desktop and other participants on a call simultaneously on the device's large inner display. Four Microsoft applications - Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and OneNote - also received this update, joining Zoom in supporting iPhone Duo. Microsoft Outlook already had this optimization upon its launch, but Microsoft Teams remains unoptimized for the device.
To qualify for iPhone Duo optimization, apps must be built with the iOS 27.1 SDK or later. Once optimized, these apps fill both the outer and inner displays of the device, with toolbars and tab bars appearing vertically below the status bar. In contrast, apps developed with the iOS 26 SDK or earlier are centered on the inner display, leaving considerable empty space.
On the App Store, iPhone Duo-optimized apps display a "Made for iPhone Duo" label. A recent roundup article on MacRumors.com highlighted these developments in iPhone Duo technology. For further reading, check out the Buyer's Guide for iPhone Duo and join the discussion in the forums.
