Screen mirroring your iPhone to your Samsung TV is a hassle-free process and you can do it easily through the built-in TV settings or using a lightning digital AV adapter.
How to Screen Mirror iPhone to Samsung TV?
Before you start, remember your TV must be compatible with this feature. As per Samsung, if you have a TV model later than 2018, you can use this feature. Below is a step-by-step guide on turning on screen mirroring on your TV and iPhone.
Step 1: Turning On Screen Mirroring on Samsung TV
You should first turn on the feature on your TV, then only proceed with your iPhone. In most Samsung TVs, the feature is known as Airplay. You should also be aware that you should connect the iPhone and TV to the same Wi-Fi to use the feature. Follow the steps to turn on screen mirroring on your TV:
Step 2: Turning On Screen Mirroring on iPhone
After you have turned on Airplay on your TV, now it’s time to turn it on on your iPhone. You can use multiple methods to turn on the Airplay on your TV. You can use the necessary method as per your preference and availability. Some of them are discussed below:
From Control Center
When you turn on screen mirroring from the control center, the entire content on your iPhone screen will be projected to the TV.
From Applications
If you don’t want to project your iPhone’s entire screen, you can also project the app-specific screens. Apps on your iPhone like Photos and HBO Max have an integrated Airplay feature, and you can project its screen only to the TV. Here, I will take an example of a Photos app for your reference:
Using Third-party Softwares
If sharing screen from the specific app or the control center does not work, you can also use third-party software like Samsung Smart View or AirDroid Cast that helps to mirror your iPhone screen to the TV hassle-free. Simply download the apps and follow the on-screen instructions to pair your TV and iPhone, and you are all set to go. Once you complete the casting, you can also turn off the screen mirroring easily.
What to Do if Screen Mirroring Does Not Mirror Your iPhone Screen to TV?
If you cannot cast iPhone to your Samsung TV, you can apply some fixes so that it starts working again. As a preliminary fix, you can try restarting your TV and iPhone. But before that, please verify that your TV is compatible with Airplay. You can learn about it from your TV manual or Samsung’s official website. Then make sure your TV and iPhone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Consider reducing the distance between your phone and TV for a strong connection. Also, you can try updating your Samsung TV’s firmware, as outdated firmware can sometimes cause casting issues.
