   • Depending on your phone’s port (USB-C, MHL, etc.), you may need an adapter or a specific HDMI cable.

2. Connect the Cable:

   • Plug one end of the HDMI cable into your phone (via the adapter if needed) and the other end into your TV’s HDMI port.

3. Switch TV Input to HDMI:

   • Use your TV’s remote control to switch the input source to the HDMI port you just plugged into.

By following these steps, you should be able to cast your phone to your TV and enjoy a larger viewing experience.
