Airplay only works when watching a video - Apple TV 3rd Gen Hello, I purchased a used Apple TV 3rd Gen a while back for my LG TV and it works great on my iPhone 7, 8 and 6+. Any newer iPhone can't connect to Airplay unless a video or song is playing which I find very frustrating. What can be done settings wise? I plan on upgrading my iPhone soon and don't want to lose the basic function of airplay (beyond just streaming video, audio). This removes my ability to scroll through sites/apps and limits me to video and audio. I tested this on several new iPhones and mine always works flawlessly while the new ones don't. Is this a design to promote the newer Apple TV or is there a way to fix it?

Airplay not connecting to Samsung TV 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

If you suffer intermittent connection problems, the issue is almost certainly your wifi network. Have you checked for other equipment which is likely to interfere with your network?
