Connect using the control center

Open Control Center:

For iPhone X and newer models, swipe down from the top right corner of the screen.

For iPhone 8 and earlier models, swipe up from the bottom of the screen.

Find AirPlay icon:

In the control center, look for an icon with one rectangle embedded in another rectangle, which usually represents screen mirroring or AirPlay.

Select AirPlay device:

After clicking on the AirPlay icon, you will see a list of available AirPlay devices.

Start mirroring or screen mirroring:

Based on your selection, your iPhone or iPad screen will be mirrored onto the selected device, or you can choose to only cast specific content (such as videos or music) onto that device.

Open the settings app:

On your iPhone or iPad, find and click on the “Settings” app.
Navigate to AirPlay settings:

In the “General” settings, find and click on “AirPlay&Handoff”.

Adjust the automatic AirPlay settings:

In the “AirPlay&Handoff” settings, you can find “Auto AirPlay to TV” or similar options.

If you don’t want the device to automatically connect to an AirPlay device, you can set it to ‘never’.

Matters needing attention
