How to Mirror Your Phone Screen? Detailed Tutorials for iPhone and Android Phones
“How do I mirror my phone screen?” This is the first question many users encounter. In fact, the operation isn’t complicated, but due to differences between iOS and Android systems, the steps vary slightly. This tutorial will provide detailed step-by-step guidance for iPhone and Android phones respectively.
iPhone Screen Mirroring Tutorial
iPhone users primarily use the built-in AirPlay protocol for wireless screen mirroring.
Prerequisites: Ensure your iPhone and the receiving device (such as Apple TV or AirPlay-supported smart TV) are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Steps:
- Swipe down from the top-right corner of your iPhone screen to open the “Control Center”.
- Tap the “Screen Mirroring” button (icon with two overlapping rectangles).
- Select your TV or receiver name from the list of available devices.
- Once connected successfully, your iPhone screen will be fully displayed on the large screen.
Android Phone Screen Mirroring Tutorial
Wireless screen mirroring on Android devices typically relies on the Miracast protocol, and the feature may be named “Wireless Projection”, “Multi-Screen Interaction”, or “Cast”.
Prerequisites: Similarly, both devices need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Steps:
- Swipe down from the top of the screen to open the quick settings panel.
- Find and tap the icon for “Wireless Projection”, “Screen Mirroring”, or a similar function (you may need to add it in the dropdown menu editor).
- The system will automatically search for available devices; tap your TV name to connect.
On some Android phones, this feature can also be enabled in “Settings” -> “Connections & Sharing” -> “Screen Projection”.
Mirroring Failed? Check These Points!
If you can’t connect successfully, check:
- Whether both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network.
- Whether the TV’s screen mirroring function is enabled.
- Restarting your phone and TV can sometimes resolve temporary software glitches.
Once you master the mirroring method for your phone, sharing photos, playing mobile games, or watching videos will bring double the fun!
