home won't add my TV as an accessory

I'm trying to link my TV to Home to mirror it. I've done this in the past, but I have since moved and now the Home app won't add my TV. Same TV, same app, same phone, all connected to the same Wi-Fi.

Hey there n8ivefl,


We'd like to help by learning more about what's happening, along with ruling out some possible causes:


  1. What exactly occurs when you try adding your TV device to the Home app on your iPhone? The more details you provide, the better we'll understand what occurs when you try.
  2. If you're instead trying to use AirPlay to mirror what's on your iPhone to your TV, this link has the steps to take for doing this: Use AirPlay to stream video or mirror the screen of your iPhone or iPad
  3. What kind of TV device are you wanting to use, and which iPhone model are you using?
  4. Sometimes unexpected behavior can be resolved with a restart: Restart your iPhone
  5. If you have a compatible iPhone model, the latest version is iOS 16.4.1. You can verify this within Settings > General > About. In case you needed it, this link shows how to first back up, then Update your iPhone or iPad.


Cheers!
