[iPhone15] Reverse charging not working When I connect any power consuming device like an audio interface, another (Android) smartphone or a cheap bluetooth speaker due an USB-C to USB-A adapter the iPhone does not deliver any power output. Also I don't get any notification that a device was connected or something like that. I tested the same combination of adapter/cables/device with an USB-C port of a MacBook and confirmed that it's working fine there. So the issue is clearly on the phone side. Do I have to change any settings to make this work?

There is no such thing as reverse charging your MacBook with an iPhone 15 Pro. You can only charge your iPhone 15 Pro with your MacBook.
