To AirPlay from your iPhone to a TV, you’ll primarily use Apple’s built-in AirPlay 2 technology. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

What You Need:

• iPhone: Running iOS 12.3 or later.
• Compatible TV:
  • Apple TV (4th generation or later).
  • AirPlay 2-compatible smart TV: Many newer models from brands like Samsung, LG, Sony, Vizio, Roku TV, and some Amazon Fire TV models support AirPlay 2. Check your TV’s manual or specifications.
• Wi-Fi Network: Both your iPhone and the TV must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

Steps to AirPlay (Mirroring Your Entire iPhone Screen):

1. Open Control Center:
   • iPhone with Face ID: Swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen.
   • iPhone with a Home button: Swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen.
2. Tap the “Screen Mirroring” button: It looks like two overlapping rectangles.
3. Select your TV: Choose your Apple TV or AirPlay 2-compatible smart TV from the list.
4. Enter the AirPlay passcode (if prompted): If a passcode appears on your TV screen, enter it on your iPhone.

Steps to AirPlay (Streaming Video or Audio from an App):

1. Connect to the same Wi-Fi network: Ensure your iPhone and your Apple TV or AirPlay 2-compatible smart TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
2. Open the app: Launch the app with the video or audio you want to stream (e.g., YouTube, Apple Music, Netflix, Photos).
3. Look for the AirPlay icon: It usually looks like a rectangle with a triangle pointing upwards. In some apps, you might need to tap a different button first (like the Share button), then find the AirPlay button.
4. Choose your TV: Select your Apple TV or AirPlay 2-compatible smart TV from the list.

Important Considerations:

• Wi-Fi Strength: A strong and stable Wi-Fi connection is crucial for smooth AirPlay performance.
• TV Settings: Ensure that AirPlay is enabled in your TV’s settings. The location of these settings can vary depending on your TV’s brand and model. Look for options like “AirPlay,” “Apple AirPlay Settings,” or “Screen Mirroring (AirPlay).”
• Software Updates: Keep your iPhone and your TV’s software updated for the best compatibility and performance.
• App Compatibility: Not all apps support AirPlay. Look for the AirPlay icon within the app.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully AirPlay content from your iPhone to your TV.
