The situation with AirPlay and Amazon Fire TV devices is a bit of a mix, and it depends on the specific Fire TV device you’re using. Here’s a clear breakdown:

Fire TV Smart TVs (with built-in Fire TV):

• AirPlay 2 Support:
  • Some newer Fire TV Smart TVs (like certain Toshiba, Insignia, and Amazon’s Fire TV Omni series models) do include built-in AirPlay 2 support.
  • This means you can directly AirPlay from your Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac) to these TVs.
  • To check if your Fire TV Smart TV supports AirPlay, look in the TV’s settings for an “AirPlay & HomeKit” option.

Fire TV Sticks and Other Fire TV Devices (that plug into a tv):

• No Native AirPlay Support:
  • Amazon Fire TV Sticks and most other Fire TV devices that plug into a TV do not have native, built-in AirPlay support.
• Third-Party Apps:
  • You can find third-party apps on the Amazon Appstore, such as “AirScreen,” that attempt to provide AirPlay-like functionality.
  • However, keep in mind:
    • The performance and reliability of these apps can vary.
    • There might be limitations with certain content or DRM-protected material.
    • It is always wise to read reviews of third party applications.

In Summary:

• If you have a Fire TV Smart TV that specifically states it supports AirPlay 2, you can use AirPlay directly.
• If you have a Fire TV Stick or another Fire TV device that plugs into a television, you will most likely need to use a third party application.
• It is important to understand that the third party applications can have limitations.
