## What are FeatureUnlock and mediaanalysisd?
117117

118-
There are two rather common things that can cause weird crashing. First is a process called "mediaanalysisd" on 3802-based systems* and secondly FeatureUnlock. You can try disabling these settings in OCLP to try and gain higher stability. As always, install a new OpenCore build after selecting the settings and restart.

FeatureUnlock is an extension to enable some macOS features, such as Sidecar or Universal Control. All features enabled by FeatureUnlock are listed [here](https://github.com/acidanthera/FeatureUnlock). Medianalysisd is a macOS feature mainly utilized for face detection in Photos, as well as Live Text feature.

Be advised that by disabling FeatureUnlock, you will lose some macOS functionality. The features enabled by FeatureUnlock are listed [here](https://github.com/acidanthera/FeatureUnlock).

These features have the potential to cause instability in many places and as such a decision has been made to disable them by default starting from OpenCore Legacy Patcher version 2.1.0. If you want to enable these features at the risk of additional instability, you can do so in the OCLP settings and rebuilding OpenCore.

## Why isn't iPhone Mirroring working?

137142
iPhone Mirroring requires a T2 chip, which means it will not be available on OCLP patched systems. The connection fails due to failure to establish T2 attestation.
