If your iPhone mirroring not working on Mac using the built-in options, and you've already tried updating both devices, there are several alternative methods you can consider:
1. Use QuickTime Player
- Connect your iPhone to your iMac using a Lightning cable.
- Open QuickTime Player on your Mac.
- Go to File > New Movie Recording.
- Click the arrow next to the record button and select your iPhone as the camera source.
This method provides a live view of your iPhone screen on your Mac but is limited to wired connection.
2. Update or Reset Network Settings:
- Sometimes network issues hinder AirPlay detection. Reset network settings on your iPhone (Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings).
- Ensure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network.
