iPhone notifications on Mac don't work

I have iMac M4 and iPhone 16 Pro Max. I've set up iPhone Mirroring. And I did everything according to this instruction Manage iPhone notifications on Mac - Apple Support

But iPhone notifications on Mac don't work. In system settings there is no point "iPhone notifications on Mac" in "Notifications". It's not even that it doesn't work, but that I can't even turn it on.

On my MacBook everything is working.

iMac 24″, macOS 15.2

Hey! If iPhone notifications aren't showing up on your iMac, try these:

  1. Update both devices: Make sure both your iMac and iPhone have the latest software (macOS and iOS).
  2. Check iCloud: Make sure you’re signed in to the same Apple ID on both devices.
  3. Turn on Handoff: On your iMac, go to System Preferences > General and check Allow Handoff. On your iPhone, go to Settings > General > AirPlay & Handoff.
  4. Check Notification Settings: On your iMac, go to System Preferences > Notifications & Focus and make sure notifications are on.
  5. Make sure Do Not Disturb is off: Check if Do Not Disturb is turned off on both devices.
  6. Sign out and back in: Try signing out of iCloud and signing back in.

After trying these, restart both devices and see if that helps!
