If you’re having trouble screen mirroring from your iPhone, here’s a breakdown of troubleshooting steps:

1. Check the Basics

  • Software Updates:
    • iPhone: Go to Settings > General > Software Update and check for any available updates.
    • TV/Streaming Device: Check for and install any available software updates for your TV or streaming device.

2. Restart Devices

  • Restart your iPhone.

  • On your iPhone: Go to Settings > Wi-Fi, select your current network, and tap “Forget This Network.”
  • Reconnect to your Wi-Fi network on both your iPhone and the TV/streaming device.

5. Check for Other Interference

  • Bluetooth: Temporarily disable Bluetooth on your iPhone and see if that resolves the issue.
  • Other Apps: Close any other apps running in the background on your iPhone.

6. Contact Apple Support or TV Manufacturer Support

  • If the issue persists, contact Apple Support for assistance with your iPhone or contact the manufacturer of your TV or streaming device for support.

Important Notes:

  • AirPlay Compatibility: Ensure your TV or streaming device is compatible with AirPlay.
  • Firewall/Security Software: Temporary disable any firewalls or security software on your iPhone to see if they are interfering with AirPlay.
