iphone mirroring always shows connection interrupted on ios 26 & tahoe 26
I cant use the iPhone Mirroring feature between my iPhone 15 and Macbook Air 2022. The feature used to work without problems when i first got my laptop (around 1 month-ish), but it suddenly stopped working and has remained broken even after updating both devices to the latest software versions. The issue originally began while i was still on iOS 18, i thought an update would help.
My setup:
- iPhone 15 (iOS 26)
- MacBook Air M2, 2022 (macOS Tahoe 26)
- Both devices signed in with the same Apple ID (2FA enabled)
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are on + connected to the same network
- No VPN or third-party security software used
The issue:
- iPhone Mirroring connects successfully at first.
- After 4-5 seconds, the session disconnects and shows “Connection Interrupted.”
- This happens consistently, every time I attempt to mirror.
My attempts:
- Updated both iPhone and Mac to the latest available versions.
- Restarted both devices multiple times.
- Ensured Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled and both devices are on the same network.
- Switched to different Wi-Fi networks.
- Have the devices’ network settings on “rotating”
- Revoked and re-granted iPhone Mirroring access on both devices.
- No VPN/firewall/privacy features
Please help me, im so deeply frustrated..
MacBook Air, macOS 26.0
