I'm having trouble getting my iPhone to display in File Explorer after connecting it to my PC via USB. When I plug it in, I see a prompt on my iPhone asking if I trust the PC, and I select 'Yes.' However, the iPhone doesn't appear in 'This PC' or the Apple Devices app that I just installed. It does show up under Devices and Printers, but I'm not sure what steps to take next. I've successfully transferred files before, but I haven't encountered this specific issue until now.

You might want to check if your iPhone has an option to switch from 'charging only' to 'data transfer.' Also, try unplugging and reconnecting the cable more securely, or use a different cable altogether, preferably an official Apple one. Restarting both your PC and iPhone could freshen things up too!

If you're not seeing that option in settings, I recommend looking in the 'Settings' app under 'Photos' to ensure 'Sync with this PC' is enabled. Sometimes just restarting both your devices can resolve unexpected issues.
