How to Mirror an iPhone to a Smart TV Wirelessly
You can wirelessly connect your iPhone to a smart TV as long as the TV is AirPlay 2-compatible. To find out if your TV is AirPlay 2-compatible, check with your TV manufacturer. Once you know the two are compatible, here’s how you mirror your iPhone. When you’re finished mirroring your iPhone to your TV, all you have to do is go back through those steps and tap Stop Mirroring.
Using an Adapter or Cable to Mirror an iPhone to a TV (Without Apple TV)
If you don’t have a compatible TV or an Apple TV you can still mirror your iPhone to your TV but you’ll need a cable to go from your iPhone to your TV and, sometimes, you might also need an adapter to connect the cable to your iPhone. The specific adapter you need will depend on the model iPhone you’re using as well as the available connections you have on your TV. Most commonly that will be an HDMI connection, but older TVs may require a VGA adapter instead. Once you have the appropriate cable and adapter, all you need to do is connect your iPhone to your TV. You might need to change the TV input manually if it doesn’t automatically detect the active device. Once you seen your iPhone’s screen on the TV, you will know it’s successfully mirrored.
Using an App to Mirror Your iPhone to a TV
To use Chromecast with your iPhone, you’ll use the Google Home app to link compatible platforms. Once you’ve set it up, it’ll work similarly to AirPlay: You’ll choose the Cast icon from the app and select your Chromecast as the destination.
