iPhone AirPlay and screen mirroring to TV not connecting
Your iPhone and TV need to be on the same WiFi network and close by. Make sure both are on the same network, restart your TV, and try again. If that doesn't work, restart your iPhone.
AirPlay connects your iPhone to your TV through WiFi. Both devices need to be on the same network, close enough to maintain a signal, and have the right settings turned on. If any of those is wrong, AirPlay won't connect. We'll check your network, restart your TV, and get AirPlay working.
Fix-IT-Bot will walk you through each step — just tap, no typing needed.
Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Putting your iPhone on guest WiFi while your TV is on the main network. They need to be on the same network.
- Thinking AirPlay and Bluetooth are the same thing. AirPlay only works on WiFi.
Signs you need professional help
- If your TV supports AirPlay, both devices are on the same WiFi, and AirPlay still won't connect after restarting both devices, give us a call and we'll check your network settings.
