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

1. Check the Basics

• Wi-Fi Connection:
  • Verify Connection: Ensure both your iPhone and the TV (or streaming device) are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
  • Signal Strength: Check for a strong Wi-Fi signal for both devices.
  • Interference: Identify and resolve any potential Wi-Fi interference (other devices, appliances).
• 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.
• Restart your TV or streaming device.

3. Enable AirPlay on Your TV (if applicable)

• Go to Settings on your TV.
• Navigate to System > Apple AirPlay and HomeKit.
• Ensure AirPlay is turned ON.

4. Forget and Re-add Devices (if necessary)

• 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.

By systematically checking these points, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue preventing screen mirroring from working on your iPhone.
