Microsoft Remote Desktop for iOS has received an update. Taking the app to Version 10.1.1, the update introduces a number of exciting new features and a ton of bug fixes.

With the latest version of the Microsoft Remote Desktop app installed on your iOS device, you’ll be able to hit the remapped Escape button or CMD+. to cancel out any credential prompt. The update also includes support for F1 through to F12, Home, End, PgUp and PgDn keys on hardware keyboards. If you’re using iPadOS 13.4 later, you’ll notice some animations and polish that appear when you move the mouse cursor. You can read the official changelog below.

Changelog

  • Added support for F1 through to F12, Home, End, PgUp and PgDn keys on hardware keyboards.
  • Resolved a bug that made it difficult to move the mouse cursor to the top of screen in letter-boxed mode on iPadOS devices.
  • Addressed an issue where pressing backspace after space deleted two characters.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the iPadOS mouse cursor to appear on top of the RD client mouse cursor in “Tap to Click” mode.
