Casting from your iPhone can be done in a few ways, primarily using AirPlay for Apple devices and sometimes via specific app features for other devices. Here’s a breakdown:

1. AirPlay (Apple TV or AirPlay 2-Compatible TVs):

• What You Need:
  • An Apple TV (4th generation or later) or a smart TV that supports AirPlay 2.
  • Both your iPhone and the TV on the same Wi-Fi network.
• How to Mirror Your Screen:
  1. Open Control Center:
     • • For iPhones with Face ID: Swipe down from the top-right corner.
     • For iPhones with a Home button: Swipe up from the bottom.
  2. Tap “Screen Mirroring”: Look for the icon with two overlapping rectangles.
  3. Select Your TV: Choose your Apple TV or AirPlay 2-compatible TV.
  4. Enter Code (if prompted): Enter any code shown on the TV screen.
• How to Cast Audio or Video:
  1. Open the App: Launch the app with the content (e.g., YouTube, Apple Music, Netflix).
  2. Tap the AirPlay Icon: Look for the AirPlay icon (rectangle with a triangle).
  3. Select Your TV: Choose your Apple TV or AirPlay 2-compatible TV.
  4. Play: The content will play on your TV.

2. App-Specific Casting (Chromecast, etc.):

• What You Need:
  • A Chromecast device or a TV with Chromecast built-in.
  • Both your iPhone and the Chromecast device on the same Wi-Fi network.
• How to:
  • Many apps (like YouTube, Netflix, Spotify) have a built-in cast button.
  • Open the app, find the cast icon, and select your Chromecast device.
  • This will cast the content from the app, and not the entire phone screen.
• Important Note:
  • Directly mirroring the entire iPhone screen to a Chromecast device is not a native Airplay function. There are 3rd party applications that say they can do this, but they can be unreliable.

Important Considerations:

• Wi-Fi: A strong Wi-Fi connection is vital.
• Compatibility: Ensure your TV supports AirPlay 2 or Chromecast.
• Updates: Keep your iPhone and TV software up to date.
