To mirror an iPhone to a smart TV, the most common and straightforward method is using Apple's AirPlay feature, available on iPhones and many smart TVs.
Wireless Mirroring with AirPlay
- Ensure your iPhone and smart TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
- On your smart TV, enable AirPlay if necessary (check the TV settings under network or AirPlay settings).
- On your iPhone, swipe down from the top-right corner (on iPhone X or later) to open Control Center.
- Tap the Screen Mirroring icon (two overlapping rectangles).
- Select your smart TV from the list of available devices.
- If prompted, enter the PIN code shown on your TV screen.
- Your iPhone screen will now be mirrored on the smart TV.
- To stop mirroring, return to Control Center, tap Screen Mirroring, and select Stop Mirroring.
Alternative Methods
- If your TV doesn't support AirPlay, consider using third-party apps like DoCast or AirBeamTV to mirror your iPhone screen.
- For TVs with Roku or Chromecast, you can use those devices to cast from your iPhone using respective apps (Google Home for Chromecast, Roku app).
- For wired mirroring, use a Lightning-to-HDMI adapter to connect your iPhone directly to the TV with an HDMI cable, which does not require Wi-Fi.
These are the main ways to mirror your iPhone to a smart TV, depending on your TV brand and model and network setup.
