I don't want to use my iphone as a webcam, how do I stop those messages from appearing every time I open my laptop?

The only options are, "DO IT NOW!" or "Remind me next time I open my laptop or use laptop for a long time, especially when you're concentrating and working." My laptop has a camera, I have used it once in 2 years. I am not that person and do not aspire to be. Every update requires things to undo that worked perfectly fine previously. I do not need a co-dependent relationship with my computer.

this is what I see—

Turn off Continuity Camera

To prevent your Mac from recognizing your iPhone as a camera or microphone,

even when your iPhone is plugged in and mounted, you can turn off this

feature.

On your iPhone, open Settings, then go to General > AirPlay & Handoff.
Turn off Continuity Camera.
