Disable "Allow" screen when connecting to laptop

My iPhone does not have Settings>Privacy&Security>Security>Wireless Accessories tab so I cannot set so I do not get the "Allow" screen every time I connect my iPhone to my laptop using a USB cable. How can I get this tab back so I can make this adjustment?

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 18

I don’t believe Settings > Privacy & Security > Security, as you stated in your original post, exists.


And Wireless Accessories doesn’t exist either.


Check Settings > Privacy & Security > [scroll down to] Wired Accessories.
