The ability to use AirPlay with Amazon Fire TV devices can be a bit nuanced. Here’s a breakdown of the situation:

Native AirPlay Support:

• Fire TV Smart TVs:
  • Some newer Fire TV Smart TVs (like certain Toshiba and Insignia models, as well as the Fire TV Omni series) do include built-in AirPlay 2 support. This allows for direct AirPlay streaming from Apple devices.
  • To check if your Fire TV Smart TV supports AirPlay, look in the TV’s settings for an “AirPlay & HomeKit” option.
• Fire TV Stick:
  • Generally, Amazon Fire TV Sticks do not have native AirPlay support.

Workarounds and Third-Party Apps:

• Third-Party Apps:
  • Apps like “AirScreen” are available on the Amazon Appstore. These apps attempt to provide AirPlay-like functionality on Fire TV devices.
  • However, be aware that:
    • 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 any third party application before downloading.
• Considerations:
  • If you primarily use Apple devices and want seamless AirPlay integration, a Fire TV Smart TV with built-in AirPlay 2 support is your best option.
  • For Fire TV Stick users, third-party apps can offer a potential workaround, but with potential limitations.

In summary:

• AirPlay is directly supported on some Fire TV Smart TVs.
• Fire TV Sticks typically require third-party apps to achieve similar functionality.
