Allow iPhone notifications missing from MacOS Tahoe

[samrhall]

Is the ability to view iPhone notifications on your Mac gone from Tahoe? I don't see it in Notifications, and I can't find it anywhere else. But I've not seen any mention of it being removed. Easily could have missed it, though.

Bumping this to see if anyone can help.

It was missing for me, but I got it back.

I did the following:

1. Turned bluetooth on on my phone and laptop
2. Ran the iPhone Mirroring app on my laptop
3. Went through the steps to get that working, including clicking "allow" for phone notifications to pass through

The option is now showing correctly in settings / notifications.

I've since turned Bluetooth back off, and the option has remained. I've not had a notification yet to check it actually works, but it seems ok.

Perfect! This worked. I guess turning BT off/on reset something. This was the first time when I started iPhone Mirroring that it asked about notifications since I first used it. Thanks!

It could be a new iOS 26 / MacOS Tahoe thing that meant it needed re-activating. However, I had it turned off before the upgrades (18/Sequoia) and will probably turn it off again anyway, as I almost always have my phone near me so don't need the duplication.

I only turned it all on just now to help you and to satisfy my curiosity 😁. Plus, I like to know everything works even if it's something I don't use!
