Screen Mirroring won't disconnect.

Since last week, I have had a few ipads that will start screen mirroring and lose 'mirroring' but won't disconnect from the AppleTV. Screen Mirroring continues to be 'connected' to the AppleTV, but the screen is not mirrored - and won't disconnect. It requires a full restart of the iPad to disconnect and then reconnect.

Hello Rezint,


It looks like you joined the Apple Support Communities from a great starting point; Use AirPlay to stream video or mirror the screen of your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support. Are you following all the steps offered on that page to ensure that you're correctly connecting your iPad to the TV and streaming correctly? If so, and the behavior remains the same, you may want to move over to follow the guidance offered on this page: If screen mirroring or streaming isn't working on your AirPlay-compatible device - Apple Support


As it shows there, try these steps first:


After each step, see if you still need help. 

1. Make sure that your AirPlay-compatible devices are turned on and near each other.
2. Check that the devices are updated to the latest software and are on the same Wi-Fi network. 
3. Restart the devices that you want to use with AirPlay or screen mirroring.

If you're prompted to enter a password, you might have restrictions turned on, or you might need to adjust your AirPlay password settings.


If these steps have been followed and you still need assistance, you can continue on to the steps offered in the section labeled 'Still need help?' on that same page.


As it shows, as a final resort, you can contact Apple Support directly so that they can look further into this issue with you. You can reach out to them by clicking here: Contact - Official Apple Support or over the phone by calling the number that is most local to your region: Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support.


Best wishes!
