Every time I sync my iPhone and iPad to my Mac the device asks me if I want to "Trust this computer". How can I set the device so it already trusts my own Mac and doesn't keep asking that annoying question? The Mac is running sonoma 14.5, the devices are on iOs 17.5.1.

This is not the case with my iPhone (at 17.6.1) and my desktop (Sonoma 14.6.1). Never have been asked. Sync always starts immediately . Everytime after an update to my desktop OS, signing into this discussion group asks me for the six digit code they send and then asks me if my computer can be trusted. The updated OS is viewed as a new computer to Apple's discussion group.
Maybe "deepend" situation is related to his setup with the desktop... I manually sync from the desktop with backup to iCloud and encrypted. While this not much help, the "trust" question is not normal and somehow something is not set right.

It comes up for me every time I plug in my phone.
Obviously we have two very different experiences. Mystifying. Maybe then it has something to do with location or how we sync? I am in the United States.... Usually I sync when in Music or Photos using the lightning cable (and have sync in Finder). Apple's default security settings are on my desktop (Mac Studio) and iPhone 12 as far as I know. Only my iPhone and iPad are ever connected to the desktop and both have my ID. And when I connect my iPhone to the desktop, if the phone is locked, I get a prompt to unlock in photos, not in Music. Finder doesn't care if locked or unlocked, it will sync with no delay.

Me too.
This is a security feature Apple introduced some time ago. There are no settings to turn it off. You'll have this prompt every time you connect the iPhone or iPad to the Mac.

The current macOS Sonoma version is 14.6.1. The current iOS version is 17.6.1.

My experience is the same as IdrisSeabright’s.
U.S., 2FA, standard settings. I don't have Stolen Device Protection or Advanced Data Protection enabled.
I want to disable Trust Alerts on my iPhone and iPad when syncing with Mac
