I have noticed that my iMac pro won't recognize my iPhone 12 Pro after MacOS Big Sur Upgrade , i cannot connect to the phone to use its hotspot nor am i able to use continuity or initiate phone calls . my other Macs ( MacBook Pro's & iPad Pro ) seems to be working just fine in recognizing my iPhone 12 Pro even without being on the same network !



I have tried logging out and re login again into my Apple ID on the iMac but that didn't resolve the matter , even rebooting couple of times ! any suggestions on getting this feature to work again on my iMac Pro ?



Thanks

Got the issue resolved after chatting with Apple Support , they have advised me to shut down the Mac and turn it on and immediately press and hold command -option/alt - r until you see a spinning globe. then try to connect to your iPhone (using the sane Apple ID as your Mac ) hotspot from the drop down list ( it should be able to connect ) then reboot your Mac and log in normally , you should be able to see your iPhone in the preferred wifi hotspots and continuity should work normally back again!
