Device and app evidence

Choose AirPlay video or screen mirroring on iPhone

Choose in-app AirPlay for supported video or Screen Mirroring for the phone display, then isolate discovery and app-specific playback.

Choose the action you actually need

In-app AirPlay sends a supported video from its playback controls. Screen Mirroring shares what appears on the iPhone or iPad screen. If you are showing a menu or demonstrating a setting, mirroring fits that task. If you want to watch a particular programme, look for the app’s own AirPlay control and check that the service supports it.

Apple notes that some video apps may not support AirPlay. A working shared photo proves that the device can be discovered and can receive that photo. It does not establish playback support for every video app. Some services offer a supported native Apple TV app as another route.

Find the mode and stop it cleanly

  1. Connect the sender and compatible receiver to the same local Wi-Fi network. Turn on the intended receiver and choose the correct TV input.
  2. For video, open the app, find the AirPlay control and choose the receiver. Stop through the same control when you are done.
  3. For mirroring, open Control Center, select Screen Mirroring and choose the receiver. Enter the on-screen passcode privately if prompted.
  4. Stop mirroring in Control Center. Close notifications or private screens before a shared demonstration.

Use the outcome to decide the next check
