No "show IOS devices" option in finder sidebar preferences

Hi, I hope you can help me. My iPhone is not showing in finder sidebar on my iMac. I have searched the internet and everyone suggest solving the problem by clicking in the finder sidebar preferences and enabling IOS devices, but I only have as and option to enable CD's, DVD's and iPods. I do not have IOS devices listed. I am using El Capitan 10.11.6.

I would greatly appreciate if you could assist me.

Thank you in advance

iMac, OS X 10.11

Hello,

Device management in Finder was introduced in macOS 10.15 Catalina. On legacy macOS versions device management is performed through iTunes.
