iPhone won't show up in Finder

[Doug Lass]

OK, this is frustrating. My iPhone (SE2, iOS 17.5.1) won't show up in my Mac Finder (Sonoma 14.5). I think it once did, but I can't get it back now. The iPhone isn't showing under Mac Locations, or in Mac Network either. But BOTH are logged into the same wifi router network. The iPhone IS present in Devices in the Mac AppleID list. I restarted the phone, and it STILL isn't there in the Finder. My FindMy on my Mac is aware of the iPhone, however. So it knows it's there. I must have flipped something to anonymize it. But what???

 

[now i see it]

Maybe it’s a glitch with Sonoma

Well, as I said, I have seen my iPhone in the Finder, but lately it's just not there for some reason.
