system asks me every time to trust and so apparently doesn't save

My phone asks me every time I connect to my desktop if I want to trust the computer and so apparently doesn't save my previous selection. All software is up to date, and this just started happening.

iMac 24″, macOS 13.1

This was a change made with iOS 16.1, and it is a workaround for a vulnerability that would allow someone who had hacked your computer to make a backup of your iPhone that they could download and essentially have access to your private information. Here is a summary of the vulnerability:


Available for: iPhone 8 and later, iPad Pro (all models), iPad Air 3rd generation and later, iPad 5th generation and later, iPad mini 5th generation and later

Impact: An app may be able to access iOS backups

Description: A permissions issue was addressed with additional restrictions.
