Once the AirPlay screen mirroring feature is set up, you can stream videos, share photos, or mirror exactly what is on your iPhone, iPad, or Macbook screen to your large-screen TV or Mac computer in both portrait and landscape modes.

Mirror iPhone screen to TV
The ever-growing list of certified AirPlay 2 capable TVs can be found on the Apple website, and it is certainly worth checking out if you want to share your iPhone screen with your Samsung TV, PC, or MacBooks. Whether you’re unsure if your smartphone will support the most recent Apple screen mirroring and Airplay 2 capabilities.
Check that your iPhone, iPad, or Mac is connected to the same wireless network as your Apple TV, Samsung TV, Roku, PC, or other AirPlay 2 compatible device before setting up screen mirroring on your iPhone. Simply slide down from the top right corner of the screen on the newest Apple iPhone models, such as the iPhone X or after, or iPads running iPadOS 13 or later, to expose the “Control Center” menu panel as seen in the illustration below. By clicking the iPhone “Screen Mirroring” button, which is highlighted by the yellow rectangle, you can view all the Airplay 2 devices that are compatible and readily accessible on your wireless network.
Screen Mirroring
Make sure your smart TV, computer, or iOS device is connected to the same wireless network as your iPhone if it isn’t mentioned. If they are and you are still experiencing problems, you may need to contact the Apple support website for further guidance.
Next, as indicated in the picture below, choose the Airplay 2 compatible device to which you want to mirror the display of your iPhone. If a passcode is required, input it on your iOS device to make the connection semi-permanent if it displays on your TV screen. The first time you establish a connection, you only need to input the passcode once; after that, it will be kept for use the next time you want to mirror the screen straight from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac computer.
You should now be able to view a direct mirror picture of your iPhone’s display on your big-screen TV if the screen mirroring connection was successful. Open the “Control Center” settings page as shown above once again, and then hit the “Stop Mirroring” button on your screen. If it’s more convenient, you may also click the Menu button on your Apple TV remote control.
Stream iOS Apps
If you’d like, you may also use iOS apps to stream content straight to your Apple TV from your iPhone, iPad, iPod, Samsung TV, and other devices. Once again, confirm that your devices are both AirPlay 2 compatible and that they are connected to the same wireless network. A little rectangle with a triangle in the bottom left corner that resembles a TV screen may be seen when viewing a video in an app, for example. Any programme that supports Airplay 2 Streaming will display the symbol.
When you push the button, a list of Airplay devices on your wireless network that can accept your stream will display. Choose one, and your material will show on your big-screen device or TV, and the logo will change from white to blue. You should be aware that not all programmes support AirPlay, but you can always verify whether one is by going to the app’s official Apple Store website for more information.
Simply touch the same (now blue) Airplay symbol to stop streaming, and the icon will transform back to its original white hue.
Your phone may automatically stream video to your favourite Apple TV or AirPlay 2 compatible device, that is, the one you have been often connected to, if you use AirPlay and screen mirroring on your iPhone relatively frequently. If this is the case, the top left corner of your iPhone’s screen will display a blue connection symbol as seen below. Simply press the symbol once again to break the connection, or choose another device from the list to broadcast to or screen mirror to straight from your iPhone.
