“Connect your iPhone to your Mac
On your Mac, open the Console app
In the Action menu, make sure the “Include Debug Messages” option is activated
Select your iPhone in the sidebar
In the search field, on the top right, search for: spotlight indexing progress
Click on the “Start” button
On your iPhone, open Settings
