  • Is it possible to use DeX on my 2019 iMac via my S7+ Tab?
    Possibly! If you go to http://samsung.com/us/explore/dex/, you can still download the Dex Mac app. It didn't work on my Mac with S22, but people have been able to get it to work with S21 and older even after they dropped support. You'll need to connect a USB C cable from your tab S7+ to the Mac, as it doesn't support wireless. Source: almost 2 years ago
