Where Do I Find AirPlay on My iPhone?
If you’re streaming music or videos on your iPhone and you want to send it to another device, you can use AirPlay if the app you’re streaming from, and the device you want to stream to is compatible. If they are, you can find the AirPlay icon in either the app or in the streaming controls in your Control Center.
Is There a Way to Connect iPhone to TV?
Just because you don’t necessarily have a dedicated AirPlay app doesn’t mean you can’t use it to send music or videos from your iPhone to a compatible device. And though not all apps are AirPlay compatible, you can still connect your iPhone to your TV to view your movies and apps on a larger screen using screen mirroring. But there are a couple of caveats. First, you must be using an AirPlay 2-compatible smart TV. If you’re not sure if your TV falls into that category, you can find a complete list of AirPlay 2-compatible TVs and other devices on Apple’s website. Just look for your brand and model there. If it’s there, great. If not, then you probably can’t use AirPlay with your TV. Once you’re sure your TV is compatible, then using AirPlay is easy. When you’ve finished using AirPlay, tap the name of the device you connected to with AirPlay to break the connection.
How Can I Mirror My iPhone to My TV Without Apple TV?
If you want to share something from your phone that isn’t AirPlay compatible, you can use screen mirroring instead. The problem with screen mirroring is that whatever you’re sharing will have the same orientation and aspect ratio as your phone because everything you do on your phone also takes place on the big screen. However, it’s helpful if you don’t want to continue using the small screen. And you can always turn your phone to landscape orientation to get a better fit. Just remember to turn off your notifications if you don’t want them flashing up on the screen.
How Do I Get AirPlay on My TV?
If you have a TV that’s not AirPlay compatible, you can add an Apple TV device to get the capability. Or you can buy a new AirPlay-compatible one.
