iPhone is hijacking my MacBook Pro.

Suddenly everytime I'm near my MacBook Pro, my iPhone hijacks the screen attempting to mirror, and this comes up on the iphone screen! It's beyond intrusive. If I ignore, my laptop keeps beeping. If I cancel, it attempts again moments later!


Any ideas how to stop? I've already went to all the setting I can think of. It's almost as stupid as having to convert a picture taken by an iphone to f'n pose this question on an apple site!





iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 26

The screen doesn't ring any bells, but it looks like you may have turned on some Continuity feature along the lines of Continuity Camera or iPhone Mirroring.

This Apple Discussions thread suggests that the Continuity Camera feature might be the culprit, and that turning it off (see thread) might end the nagging.
