How do I change the default device for Find My?

I have my iPhone and MacBook Pro on Find My. I want to temporarily switch the default device friends see from the iPhone to the MacBook. I read the instructions in Apple Support: "To change the device that you're sharing your location from, open Find My on that device. Select the Me tab, then choose Use this [device] as My Location." However, on my MacBook there is no Me tab, and on my iPhone in the Me tab I only see the iPhone as a shared location. Can you help?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.6
