I can’t connect my iPhone to my Samsung TV. It was working fine until a week ago. I get an error message saying “Unable to connect to”. I get the same message when I try to screen mirror my phone.
TV is working fine as other iPhones can connect to it.
The iphone is running iOS 16.3
iPhone 12 Pro
I have not seen any sensible answers to this question, but I have been having a similar problem. iPhone 11 Pro running 16.3.1. I (used to) regularly AirPlay to 2 different Samsung Q Series TVs on quite different networks.
somewhat recently, possibly with the upgrade to 16.3, AirPlay to both these TVs has not been working. My own investigation stumbled across a solution!!
There are a few Apple Support articles on "Private Wi-Fi Address", and reading between the lines it could could be the cause of the AirPlay problems many of us have been having with Samsung TVs?
Give the instructions above a go - it worked for me, Steve

same here. cannot connect to any tvs at work, it wont recognize new devices and wont let me connect to old ones my mac already has saved.
Hi @SravanKrA - there does appear to be a broader issue with 1OS 16 and AirPlay, possibly only with Samsung Q series TVs, but they are rather popular. see my response above. Steve
Same here. Since I installed iOS 16.3 I’ve been unable to connect AirPlay wirelessly to my Samsung tv…
min guessing to update broke that & we’ll have to wait for a tizen (Samsung tv) update :-((

Hi @Herring-moment, were your TVs Samsung as well? There are not that many TVs that support AirPlay, especially going back a couple of years.
