Stream audio and video to other devices from iPhone

Stream content from iPhone to AirPlay-enabled or Bluetooth devices, or mirror your iPhone screen. (Apple TV, AirPlay-enabled devices, and Bluetooth devices are available separately.)

Stream audio to Apple TV, AirPlay-enabled devices, or a connected Bluetooth device

  1. On your iPhone, open an audio app, such as Music, then choose an item to stream.

  2. Tap the Playback Destination button, then choose a playback destination, such as one or more HomePod speakers, Apple TV, an AirPlay 2-enabled smart TV, or wireless headphones.

    While audio is playing, you can change the playback destination from the Lock screen or Control Center.

Note: If your AirPlay-enabled devices don’t appear as a playback destination, make sure everything is on the same Wi-Fi network.

With a Bluetooth device, the playback destination returns to iPhone if the device moves out of range.

Stream photos and video to Apple TV or a smart TV using AirPlay

  • Stream photos: In Photos , tap a photo, tap the Share button, swipe up, tap AirPlay, then choose your Apple TV or an AirPlay 2-enabled smart TV as the playback destination.

  • Stream video: In the Apple TV app or another supported video app, tap the Screen Mirroring button, then choose your Apple TV or AirPlay 2-enabled smart TV as the playback destination.

    If an AirPlay passcode appears on the TV screen, enter the passcode on your iPhone.

Mirror your iPhone screen on Apple TV or a smart TV

  1. Open Control Center.

  2. Tap Screen Mirroring, then choose your Apple TV or an AirPlay 2-enabled smart TV as the playback destination.

    If an AirPlay passcode appears on the TV screen, enter the passcode on your iPhone.

To switch back to iPhone, tap Stop Mirroring or the Screen Mirroring button, then choose your iPhone.

Note: For a list of AirPlay 2-enabled smart TVs, see the Home accessories website.

You can also connect iPhone to a TV, projector, or other external display using the appropriate Apple cable or adapter. For more information, see the Apple Support article About Apple Digital AV Adapters for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
