      On your Mac, start iPhone mirroring, go to iPhone mirroring (menu) -> Settings -> Change iPhone … or open Settings -> Desktop and Dock -> scroll down to widgets and find the iPhone selection. The iPhone mirroring app will prompt to connect to the other phone.

    You forgot to mention it’s not available in the EU. And they geofence it. Not even using a VPN will make it work. Then when I’m travelling where this function is not forbidden, the iPhone Mirror app suddenly appear on the Mac and it works like it’s supposed to.
