Why can’t I airplay to my Samsung tv anymore I’ve used AirPlay for numerous apps on my Samsung qled tv for years without an issue. The last few weeks I’ve noticed it not working. I have a iPhone 15 plus. WiFi works, my Mrs can mirror to the tv. I use YouTube, bfbs, discovery+ and none of them connect anymore. This is an obvious issue that apple are ignoring because there are other posts on here regarding the same issue. I’ve tried all the steps suggested in previous posts.

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

Is your smart TV on the list of devices compatible with AirPlay streaming?

List of AirPlay-enabled smart TVs and third party streaming devices - Apple.

Then verify that AirPlay receiving is activated in the TV’s settings (listed as ‘Apple AirPlay’).
