Note:
The Device Preview functionality has been removed from the October 2017 release of Photoshop CC. Additionally, the Preview CC iOS app is no longer available for download or actively maintained as of October 2017. If you have a previously-downloaded version of Preview CC on your iOS device, you can continue to use it on an as-is basis with earlier versions of Photoshop.
The information on this page is relevant to earlier versions of Photoshop.
Get real-time previews of your Photoshop designs on multiple iOS devices with the new Device Preview feature in Photoshop and the Adobe Preview CC mobile app. Changes you make in Photoshop CC are displayed in Preview CC in real time. You can reliably connect multiple iOS devices to Photoshop using USB or over Wi-Fi.
If you have a document with artboards, Device Preview attempts to show you the correct artboard by matching the size and position of the artboard with the size of the connected device. You can also use the navigation bar to preview a specific artboard on the device or swipe through artboards that have matching widths.

Once the connection has been successfully established, the Device Preview panel in Photoshop displays the name of the connected device. Any changes you now make to the design in Photoshop are reflected in the preview on the device. When you rotate your device, the content being previewed is rotated automatically.

You can swipe to navigate between different artboards and preview them on actual devices. For example, you can preview an iPhone artboard on an iPhone while simultaneously previewing a larger version of that artboard on an iPad, reducing the time required to test designs on multiple screens.
