Boolean Functionalities have revolutionized TV streaming capabilities by enabling users to link their iPhones to televisions through Chromecast and Apple TV.
Connect Your iPhone to Your TV With AirPlay
Apple TV owners, along with certain compatible third-party AirPlay receivers, can use them to display their iPhone display on their television set. The ability to stream content from AirPlay-supporting applications is available directly through apps.
How to Screen Mirror Your iPhone to Your TV With AirPlay
The screen mirroring function enables your TV to display your iPhone screen exactly as it appears through a maintained aspect ratio. This function should be your preference for a basic iPhone display mirroring to television.
- Initiate the procedure only after verifying that your iPhone connects to the same Wi-Fi network as your AirPlay receiver.
- Open Control Center by pulling your finger down from the right-top screen corner. iPhone users with physical Home buttons should open the screen by swiping upward from the device’s bottom.
- Find and tap on the button with two TV or monitor icons stacked on each other. Then, pick the specific device that will receive your iPhone display. The TV requires you to input a 4-digit code displayed.
Choose Stop Mirroring within the Control Center to end screen mirroring.
How to Stream Videos From Your iPhone to Your TV Using AirPlay
AirPlay streaming provides a full-screen display for videos, making it optimal for watching movies or presenting pictures on your television. The iPhone permits multitasking usage while watching streamed content.
- Streaming content directly through AirPlay is available within most popular applications unless the specific app fails to support this capability. To display videos on your TV through AirPlay, please follow these directions.
- Open the media content you need to stream on your iPhone before proceeding.
- Search for an enabled AirPlay button in the current media playback interface. To access AirPlay, open the Control Center and find the AirPlay icon on the right of the Now Playing section.
- Connect your phone to the target device selection, and the content will be transmitted to your television screen.
To finish streaming content, select your iPhone from the same menu.
Cast Content to Your TV With Google Chromecast
Users with Chromecast devices can achieve their best streaming results using Google TV Streamer or another Google TV-enabled receiver. The Apple TV application does not permit content transmission to Chromecast devices.
- You should launch the app from which you want to cast, then find the “Cast” button in the player’s corner area. The circular symbol features a box with wireless network signals in its corner.
- Open the Cast icon, then select the target streaming device until your content begins to appear on your television screen.
- You can stop casting by reappearing in the cast menu to choose This device.
You cannot easily display your iPhone screen through a Chromecast connection. Unless all other options are exhausted, avoid the impractical method of using AirServer to mirror your iPhone through a computer and then casting your computer screen to TV.
Use a Wired Adapter to Connect Your iPhone to Your TV
The most convenient option for TV connection using an iPhone is a Lightning-to-HDMI adapter when Apple TV access is unavailable. Here’s how:
- Obtain an Apple-made Lightning Digital AV Adapter or purchase it from a dependable third-party vendor.
- Attach the Lightning end of the adapter to either side of your iPhone.
- Guide the HDMI cable connection, which starts by inserting the adapter into your iPhone and continues to your TV through its HDMI port.
- Change your TV’s input option to activate the correct HDMI port selection.
- Your TV screen should now display the contents from your iPhone.
If Apple TV is unavailable, connect an HDMI cable to the Lightning Digital AV Adapter to display your screen on a television. While this solution looks less elegant than wireless streaming, it remains a more convenient method than fighting the software conflict between Apple products and Chromecast.
