You can access the world wide web and its numerous streaming services straight from your phone. However, sometimes, the content needs to be seen on the big screen in your home. We got you if you are wondering how to mirror your phone/tablet to your TV. With the right equipment, it’s very easy. Whether you own an iPhone or Android, here are the simplest steps to take to cast your phone to your smart TV.

How To Cast Your iPhone To Your TV

To cast an iPhone or iPad, you will need a smart TV or a streaming device that can support Apple’s Airplay 2.

1. Turn on your Airplay 2 compatible device.
2. On an iPhone with FaceID, go to your home screen and swipe down to access the Control Center. With TouchID, go to the home screen and swipe from the bottom of the screen to access the Control Center.
3. Tap on the Screen Mirroring button (two interlocking rectangles).
4. Choose the TV from the list of devices.
5. The mirroring will start automatically and you should see the content on your TV.

In case your TV doesn’t show up in the list of available revisers, you should enable Airplay 2 on the device.
