Although the M&C app is available for iOS and Android, Sony's new Multi-Camera Monitoring feature is exclusive to iPadOS. This feature supports wired and wireless connections via Wi-Fi or hotspots for imaging in remote locations. The Verge has asked Sony if this feature will later be available to iPhone and Android users, but there has been no response.

Broadly speaking, these updated apps now also support more Sony cameras, including the Burano, FX6, FX3, FX30, Alpha 1, Alpha 9 III, and Alpha 7S III models. Full Screen Monitoring which according to Sony provides unobstructed "direct views" on all camera models are also available. This overcomes users' old complaints about camera feed being cut or changed in size on the external screen.

This update also includes other improvements, such as giving users the ability to select and adjust up to three tools for their screens, as well as more intuitive controls to adjust frame speed, sensitivity, core speed, ND filter, display, and white balance settings. The 2.0.0 version of the M&C app is now available as a free download via App Store and Google Play.
