Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
I've just upgraded to Catalina on my MBP . I used to be able to stop Photos from opening automatically with a toggle in Photos (from memory), so when I plugged my phone in, Photos didn't automatically start and open.
I can now no longer do this. It seems this option has been hidden or removed. Does anyone have any idea how to disable this?

Tip: If you do not want Photos to open whenever you connect this device, Un-select the Open Photos checkbox.

Sorry i am on a german Catalina. Then on the left you will be able to deactivate Photos from
opening when iPhone is connected.
Thanks both for your replies. Unfortunately, macudo, I can't see what you're referring to. Mine is in English. Are you thinking of Mojave? I'm using Catalina.
Leroy - again thanks, but I know how to sync, I just don't know how to disable auto starting of Photos when I plug my iPhone in.
In Mojave, there was an option to check that enabled you to automatically start Photos when you plugged in. Now there is none.
