  1. Ensure Compatibility:
    • Check that your TV supports AirPlay. Many modern smart TVs from brands like Samsung, LG, Sony, and Vizio have AirPlay built-in or available as a firmware update. Alternatively, you can use an Apple TV 4K or Apple TV HD as an AirPlay receiver.
  2. Connect to the Same Wi-Fi Network:
    • Make sure your iPhone and TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. This is essential for AirPlay to work.
  3. Open Control Center on Your iPhone:
    • Swipe down from the top right corner of your iPhone’s screen (for iPhone X and later models) or swipe up from the bottom (for iPhone 8 and earlier models) to open Control Center.
  4. Find the AirPlay Icon:
    • Look for the AirPlay icon, which looks like a TV with an arrow pointing to it. Tap on it.
  5. Select Your TV:
    • A list of AirPlay-compatible devices will appear. Tap on the name of your TV or the Apple TV you want to AirPlay to.
  6. Start AirPlaying:
    • Once your TV is selected, any content that supports AirPlay (such as videos, music, photos, or screen mirroring) will be sent to your TV. For example, if you are playing a video in the Photos or Videos app, it will now play on your TV.
  7. Adjust Settings (Optional):
    • You can adjust the AirPlay settings by tapping the AirPlay icon again while content is playing. Here, you can choose to mirror your iPhone’s screen, adjust the volume, or use other available options.
  8. Disconnect AirPlay:
    • To stop AirPlaying, swipe down to open Control Center again, tap the AirPlay icon, and then tap “Stop Mirroring” or select your iPhone as the output device.
