Hi,

Wireless Continuity Camera, particularly on new M4 Mac minis, often fails to trigger automatically with an iPhone 16 Pro Max, frequently requiring an initial cable connection. Connect via USB first, then unplug for wireless use. Key fixes include ensuring both devices share the same Apple ID, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, and disabling VPNs.
