Quicktime Mac-iPhone Screen Mirroring I am not able to mirror my iPhone 11 iOS 16.0.2 screen to Macbook Air M1 Ventura 13.0.1. Everytime I connect my iPhone to my Mac, the only option for Quicktime New Movie Recording is the continuity camera option for iPhone. Instead of iPhone screen, Quicktime shows iPhone camera. Need help. Thanks!
