[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1948840, member: 204485"] I think you are to be congratulated on maintaining an iPhone in working condition so long but as we are now up to iPhone 16 we can say your iPhone is now 9 years or at least 9 models old. Given the average life span of an iPhone is only about 5 years, I think you're doing pretty well. Computer technology is probably the fastest developing area of science so it's no surprise that a 9 year old device lacks some compatability with 2023 software. Indeed macOS Somoma itself has been superceeded by macOS Sequoia. Having said all that though it's still possible that you can add your computer to the list of personal contact devices on your iPhone and that would be in System Preferences somewhere but I'm not sure where. iOS 15.8.3 was before Preferences changed to Settings and the menu has changed somewhat even compared to my oldest device, an iPad running iPad OS 17.7.4. the current iOS being 18.3 now. I'll do a bit more searching tomorrow an let you know what if anything I can find. [/QUOTE]
