iPhone Mirroring is not working with MacBook Pro Macbook Pro M, iPhone 11s. Mirroring works maybe 1 out 10 or 20 times I try it. 1) Mostly I just click on connect (iPhone on lock screen) and I get this error. I see no mirroring request on my phone. I unlock the phone (don't click swipe, or touch anything else, all apps closed, bluetooth off) and I click connect and get this: I see no mirroring request on my phone. If I lock, or just let the iPhone self, I am back to error number one, and just repeats the process. Every once in a while it will work. If I restart the phone I will and try to connect and finally get this screen, and it will cycle throught this and the unlock code a few times, but not connect, and then randomly connect: [Re-Titled by Moderator]

How to fix iPhone 15 Pro Max mirroring issue with MacBook Pro 14 M1 Pro after iOS 18.3.2 and macOS 15.3.2 updates? The feature does not work on IPhone 15 pro max ios 18.3.2 and MacBook pro 14 m1 pro macOS 15.3.2. Everything worked fine before the update, but after it, the function stopped working. When you try to connect, the IPhone locks, and the program on the mac asks you to unlock it. After completing these steps, the connection process begins, but the IPhone locks up again and the connection is interrupted. Rebooting, changing the region, disconnecting devices, and reconnecting did not help. When you remove the password from the IPhone, the IPhone mirroring function starts an endless connection to the phone. If anyone has encountered it, please help, otherwise I will go to Samsung (^^) [Re-Titled by Moderator]

iPhone mirroring stopped working with new iPhone When I first launched iPhone Mirroring, it showed my old phone. So I went to Settings and chose my new phone from the drop-down. Next when I tried to use iPhone mirroring, it started to connect and then said "Timed out starting iPhone Mirroring." So I restarted both devices and now it just says "Unable to Connect to iPhone." The strangest thing is the iPhone Mirroring settings are missing from both devices, so I don't know what my next steps are. I'm on the same Wifi network, Bluetooth is on, both are signed into the same iCloud account. I have tried restarting twice. Switching airplane mode on and off. Turning off focus modes. Resetting the iPhone Mirroring app in Settings → Reset iPhone Access. I searched everywhere for an answer but no one seems to have this exact problem. Thanks in advance! iPhone 16 iOS 18 & Mac Mini M2 MacOS 15
