Finding iPhone backups in mac os Ventura

Hi everyone,


I'm on my new mac and looking for my iPhone backups. I am used to finding them in iTunes on the old MacBook. I read an article that shows them in Finder under locations but they are not appearing there.

When I go into Settings-> general -> storage , iOS files appears and when I click on it all my devices appear but I am unable to click on them and view any more info like when they used to open on iTunes.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

iPhone Backups


Finder>Go>Go To Folder, copy & paste:


~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup



In order to save drive space recent iOS backs are over-written, unless you manually alter the name or from Manage Backups Control click and “Archive” the backup.
