Why can't I mirror my iPhone 14 after iOS 18 update?

I was able to mirror my iPhone 14 to my older Sony Bravia TV using a HDMI cable connected to my iPhone. However, when the iPhone software was updated to iOS 18, I have lost this mirroring feature. How do I fix this?


I am advised that with ios18 , I can mirror my phone to TVs with AirPlay, which my not so old TV does not have.

It's not always the iOS update's fault!  Many things can cause phone problems.  If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.


Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!



iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.


Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.


Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.
