You can cast your iPhone screen to a smart TV using AirPlay. AirPlay is a feature that allows you to stream or mirror content from your Apple device to compatible devices such as Apple TV, AirPlay 2-compatible smart TVs, or Mac computers.
To use AirPlay, you will need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 4.2 or later, and a smart TV or other AirPlay-enabled device. Make sure both your iPhone and the smart TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Here’s how you can cast your iPhone screen to a smart TV using AirPlay:
1. On your iPhone, swipe up from the bottom of the screen (or swipe down from the top right corner on iPhone X or later) to access the Control Center.
2. In the Control Center, you should see an AirPlay icon. It looks like a rectangle with an arrow pointing up into it. Tap on this icon.
3. A list of available AirPlay devices will appear. Look for your smart TV or AirPlay-enabled device in the list and tap on it to connect.
4. If prompted, enter the AirPlay passcode or password for your smart TV or device.
5. Once connected, you can choose to either mirror your entire iPhone screen or stream specific content. To mirror your screen, toggle the “Mirroring” switch to the on position. Everything on your iPhone screen will now be displayed on your smart TV.
6. If you want to stream specific content, such as videos, photos, or music, open the app or media file on your iPhone and tap on the AirPlay icon within that app. Select your smart TV from the list to start streaming.
It’s worth noting that AirPlay 2 allows for multi-room audio, so you can stream audio to multiple AirPlay 2-compatible devices simultaneously. This is useful if you have multiple smart TVs or speakers throughout your home.
AirPlay provides a convenient way to cast your iPhone screen or stream content to a smart TV or other compatible devices. It’s a great feature for sharing photos and videos with friends and family, or for enjoying your favorite media on a larger screen. Give it a try and see how it enhances your viewing experience!
