Hey there Kiolink,
We'd like to help by learning more about what's happening, along with ruling out some possible causes:
- Sometimes unexpected behavior can be resolved with a restart. Check out Restart your iPhone and the section ‘Restart your Mac' here: Shut down or restart your Mac
- You mentioned that you updated to iOS 16.5 on your iPhone, but the latest for a compatible Mac model is macOS 13.4. You can verify this by clicking on the Apple logo at the top left corner of the screen, then on ‘About This Mac’. In case you needed it, this link shows how to first back up, then Update macOS on Mac.
- From what you described, this may be expected behavior per a feature called Handoff. This would allow you to load websites in Safari on your iPhone, and be able to view them when switching to your Mac. This link has more details about this: Use Handoff to continue tasks on your other devices After reviewing the link, let us know if this is the cause of what's happening.
Cheers!
