To screen mirror an iPhone to a TV, the most common and straightforward method is to use Apple's AirPlay feature, which requires both the iPhone and TV to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Here are the general steps:
- Make sure the TV supports AirPlay (most smart TVs from brands like Samsung, LG, Sony, and Apple TV do).
- Connect both the iPhone and the TV to the same Wi-Fi network.
- On the iPhone, swipe down from the top-right corner to open the Control Center.
- Tap on the "Screen Mirroring" icon (two overlapping squares).
- Select your TV from the list that appears.
- If a code appears on the TV, enter it on your iPhone to complete the connection.
- Your iPhone screen should now be mirrored to the TV.
If your TV does not support AirPlay, you can use an HDMI cable with an Apple Lightning Digital AV Adapter to connect your iPhone physically to the TV. Additionally, third-party apps like DoCast can help mirror your screen if native support is missing. This method works wirelessly and is widely compatible with modern smart TVs for smooth screen mirroring from iPhone.
