How can I import an edited photo from my MacBook photos to use as a wallpaper on my IPhone?

I edited a photo on my laptop to use on my phone as a Wallpaper but I can't see it on my iPhone 6s. Both my devices have the latest os installations.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.4

I've found a workaround: I opened the pic in Photos, took a photo of it with my phone so that is good enough for my purpose. I would still like to know how to do it if there is another way.

Yes, it received the latest software OS update for this old model today: 15.7.7. Apparently, there are some things it can't do but that doesn't bother me as I haven't a clue as to what I'm missing. Apple sold it to me as new in September 2021 as a replacement for my old one which had sustained irreparable damage. For me, a small phone is welcome although those big new phones are wantable.
