My M1 Mac Mini does not see my iPhone (13 Pro Max) for continuity camera.

130steve,

Thanks for keeping us updated. Going forward, are you trying to use the Continuity Camera feature to use your iPhone as a mic or webcam for your Mac?

If so, check out the steps in this additional resource under the "If you need help" section, as well as the "Additional Requirements" mentioned at the bottom of the page: Continuity Camera: Use iPhone as a webcam for Mac - Apple Support

- If you haven't unlocked your iPhone since it last restarted, unlock it, then lock it again.

- Plug your iPhone into your Mac.

- Restart your iPhone or Mac.

iOS 16 or later

Hi 130steve,

Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.

With your Mac not able to use Continuity Camera for iPhone, make sure that you are signed in with the same Apple ID and that your Apple ID has two-factor authentication enabled. Your Mac and iPhone must not be sharing an internet connection.

You can find these and additional requirements in Continuity Camera: Use your iPhone or iPad to scan documents or take a picture on your Mac.

Regards.

Hi 130steve,

Take care!
