How to mirror iPhone to smart TV?

Hi, I need to mirror my iPhone to a Smart TV. How can I do that? I'm trying to use the screen mirroring feature on my iPhone, but the TV doesn't appear in the list of devices - only my MacBook does.

iPhone 14 Pro

To use the screen mirroring feature, your TV must support AirPlay. You can check if your TV model is compatible by visiting this list: Home app - Accessories - Apple

If your TV doesn't support AirPlay, you can still mirror your screen using a cable. Here's a helpful guide: Connect iPhone to a display with a cable – Apple Support (UK)


For a wireless alternative, consider downloading mirroring apps from the App Store, such as DoCast, TV Mirror, or Screen Mirroring App. These apps are reliable and let you stream photos and videos as well as mirror your screen to smart TV.

depend on the tv really, if it does not support airplay 2

then you can't use airplay mirror


if it support chromecast then there are some chromecast apps in app store you can use


otherwise you need an appletv box Apple TV 4K - Apple

or a cable Lightning Digital AV Adapter - Lightning to HDMI - Apple


mind you some apps and sites block airplay mirror as it can disable their DRM encryption
