I removed iPhone from the finder sidebar by accident, how can I undo it and make it visible again?

I removed iPhone from Finder sidebar by accident, now when I connect it to my MacBook Pro I do not see it anymore in the finder. How can I undo it and get it back to the finder sidebar?

Thank you so much for your help.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.0

Go to Finder > Preferences > Sidebar (at the top of the Preferences window) and put a checkmark in front of "CDs, DVDs, and iOS Devices" in the Locations section.


If that doesn't help, see: If your device doesn’t appear in the sidebar when connected to Mac - Apple Support and, if necessary, If your computer doesn't recognize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod - Apple Support
