Device not Supported appears when trying to connect iphone 15 to iMac via bluetooth

I'm trying to connect via bluetooth to transfer pictures from my phone to my iMac . My bluetooth on my phone, finds my iMac but constantly says it's 'not supported'. I turned bluetooth on and off on both devices . Any advice please?

iMac 27″, macOS 12.7

This is expected behaviour. While there are numerous activities that require bluetooth to be activated on both devices, pairing in the traditional sense is not required. Instead see:
