Using AirPlay:

  • What You Need:
    • An Apple TV or a smart TV that supports AirPlay 2.
    • Both your iPhone and the TV must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

      • On iPhones with a Home button: Swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
    2. Tap “Screen Mirroring”: Look for the icon that looks like two overlapping rectangles.
    3. Select Your TV: Choose your TV from the list of available devices.
