How to Mirror Your iPhone’s Display to Your TV

Mirroring your iPhone’s display to your TV essentially means making an exact copy of what you see on your iPhone screen and displaying it on your TV screen. This allows you to share photos, videos, presentations, or even your entire phone gameplay on a larger screen. It’s like having a bigger version of your iPhone!

There are two main ways to mirror your iPhone’s display to your TV, depending on the equipment you have:

Using AirPlay (wireless):

This method is ideal if you have an Apple TV or a smart TV that supports AirPlay 2. Here’s how to do it:

1. Ensure both your iPhone and TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
2. Open the Control Center on your iPhone:
   • On iPhone X or later, or iPad with iPadOS 13 or later, swipe down from the top-right corner.
   • On iPhone 8 or earlier, or iOS 11 or earlier, swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen.
3. Tap the “Screen Mirroring” button. This icon usually resembles two overlapping rectangles.
4. Choose your Apple TV or AirPlay 2 compatible smart TV from the list of available devices.
5. If an AirPlay passcode appears on your TV screen, enter the passcode on your iPhone.

Using a Lightning Digital AV Adapter (wired):

This method works for any TV with an HDMI port, but you’ll need to purchase a Lightning Digital AV Adapter separately. Here’s how to use it:

1. Connect the Lightning Digital AV Adapter to your iPhone’s charging port.
2. Connect an HDMI cable (sold separately) to the adapter and your TV’s HDMI port.
3. Turn on your TV and make sure it’s switched to the correct HDMI input. You can usually find the input selection using your TV’s remote control.
4. Your iPhone’s screen should now be mirrored on your TV.

Here are some additional tips:

• Not all apps support screen mirroring: Some apps might have restrictions due to security or copyright reasons.
• Video quality may vary: The quality of the mirrored display might depend on your Wi-Fi speed (for AirPlay) or the capabilities of the Lightning Digital AV Adapter (for wired connection).
• Mirroring can drain your battery: Keeping your iPhone’s screen on and mirroring it to a TV can consume more battery life.
