Hello vendetta51,


We see that you've already taken a look at Use AirPlay to stream video or mirror the screen of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The "Mirror your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a TV or Mac" walks you through checking the AirPlay menu from your iPhone Control Center to see if the device screen is currently being mirrored to a different device.


  1. "Open Control Center:
    1. On iPhone X or later or iPad with iPadOS 13 or later: Swipe down from the upper-right corner of the screen.
    2. On iPhone 8 or earlier or iOS 11 or earlier: Swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen. 
  2. Tap Screen Mirroring  "


If you're not seeing a check mark to the right of any devices listed, your screen isn't currently being mirrored.


You may also see a blue color bubble behind the time on your iPhone when screen mirroring is in use. Status icons and symbols on your iPhone has more details about this.


"

Your iPhone is using Screen Mirroring, or an app is actively using your location."


While your iPhone doesn't provide access to screen mirroring data in the past, you can share any feedback you have about this using Apple's Product Feedback page to ensure it reaches the most appropriate team.


Cheers!
