How do I mirror my iPhone to my TV?|BJCast
There are multiple methods to mirror an iPhone onto a TV, and the following are some common steps:
Using AirPlay for screen mirroring
AirPlay is a wireless transmission technology developed by Apple that allows users to wirelessly transfer content from their iPhone, iPad, or Mac to devices that support AirPlay, such as Apple TV or certain smart TVs. Here are the steps to use AirPlay for screen mirroring:
Ensure that the device is connected to the same Wi Fi network: Before starting, make sure that your iPhone and TV (or Apple TV) are connected to the same Wi Fi network. This is the basic requirement for using AirPlay.
Open Control Center: On an iPhone, open Control Center. For iPhone X and later 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.
Select ‘Screen Mirroring’: In Control Center, find and click on the ‘Screen Mirroring’ option (which may appear as’ AirPlay ‘for some devices or system versions).
Select TV device: In the list that appears, choose the TV device you want to cast the screen on. If the TV supports AirPlay and has been set up correctly, it should appear in the list.
Start screen mirroring: After selecting the TV device, the content of your iPhone screen will be immediately projected onto the TV. At this point, you can operate any application through your phone, and its screen will be synchronized and displayed on the TV.
Using third-party applications for screen casting
In addition to using AirPlay and HDMI adapters, you can also use third-party applications to project your iPhone screen onto your TV., These applications typically require the installation of corresponding apps on both the TV and phone, and pairing and setting up according to the app’s instructions.
Using the Apple TV App (requires an Apple TV device)
If your home is equipped with Apple’s official streaming devices such as Apple TV 4K or Apple TV HD, you can use the Apple TV App for screen mirroring. Here are the specific steps:
Ensure that the device is connected to the same Wi Fi network: Connect your iPhone and Apple TV to the same Wi Fi network.
Open the Apple TV app: Open the Apple TV app on your iPhone and select the content you want to watch, such as movies, TV shows, or music videos.
Click on the screen mirroring button: In the playback interface, find and click on the “screen mirroring” button (usually the icon of a small TV), and then select your Apple TV device.
Start screen mirroring: After selecting the device, the content will be projected onto the TV.
