AirPlay mirrors your phone to your TV

Want to use your phone as a remote control for your TV? AirPlay, which allows wireless streaming between Apple devices, lets you to do just that. Here’s how you can use AirPlay to mirror what you see on your phone to your Apple TV using “Screen Mirroring.”

I often use AirPlay when my Apple TV remote is acting up or if I’m using an old Apple TV that may not have the app I want to stream from, like Hulu or Amazon Prime.

Or it’s a great way to share something with a group of people that’s only on your phone, such as photos from a recent trip.

Tap “Screen Mirroring” and options to connect to an Apple TV or another AirPlay device should appear:

If you run into issues connecting then you can troubleshoot by checking your phone and Apple TV are on the same WiFi network, making sure the Apple TV is on, turning off and on Bluetooth on your phone, turning off and on WiFi on your phone.
