//I tried it with my SO’s android and it worked flawlessly so it’s an iOS issue :/
I’d appreciate some help from the Linux folks. I’ve used Unified Remote with my living room PC for years and years. I was told that KDE Connect was a drop in replacement but the remote input has a 1-2 second delay from touching my phone screen to the cursor moving. Any way to correct that?
iPhone and Bazzite for context. It also did it with regular Fedora. I imagine it has to do with iOS but I looked up the issue and I haven’t seen a real solution.
Another thought to consider, but not the first one to consider. If a software behaves differently than another there is a decent chance it is how it is coded and not just how it is configured. If you can’t get a reasonable latency then you get to experience the real power of Linux. Options. Someone has experienced the same thing as you and has coded a real solution. When it comes to the name brands (KDE, GNOME, ect), you will see ironically the broadest range in quality. But if you go on the AUR you will find software that does one job an one job only. The only way that software gets know is if it works and works well.

Never used iphone or kde connect. But here are some random thoughts:
Solid suggestions, thank you.
Connect devices to same access point. Bypass extenders.
PC is wired and phone is connected to that AP.
Update both devices.
Both are updated
Turn off power saving features in your phone and for the app.
I believe they both are but I will double check.
look at firewall rules.
This could be it. I’ll do some reading on that.
That’s weird. Never had that. Hope you figure it out. Good luck.

I’d try these next:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/anyremote
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/unified-remote-server
Integration with a DE is for Apple people.
