Switch phones with Iphone mirroring on Mac with Sequoia

I use 2 iPhones and both are under the same iCloud account. So now with the new MacOs Sequoia I want to use iPhone mirroring feature, but when I open the app, it always connect to my other phone which I don’t want. Is there a way I can switch the phone which my Mac should connect to?

same happens with screenshot as well. Whenever I take a screenshot on my Mac, the handoff happens to my other phone instead of the phone I want.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.0

Took me a moment to figure this out!

If you hit ⌘, in the iPhone Mirroring App, it says this above the Reset iPhone Access button:

Change the iPhone that iPhone Mirroring will access in Desktop & Dock.

The Desktop & Dock is a link that will take you to the section in System Settings. In there, look under the Widgets section to find the option to change which iPhone to connect to.

I have 2 iPhones as well, and I've tried multiple times to change which iPhone to connect to in iPhone Mirroring App under the settings, and it automatically reverts back to my other iPhone every time I reopen settings. What else can I do?

Thank you for posting this. Just what I needed ... and it worked for me.

Here's hoping Apple is reading and will add this to the help page ( your tip content is not mentioned ... yet.)
