For most devices, mirroring is just a quick sequence away. This holds true especially for Android users who are merely a home button press on their Fire Stick remote from opening the mirroring option. 🎮➡️🔍 However, if you’re an iPhone user, there’s one additional step that needs to be taken.
Begin with the AirPlay App

Here, pick the option that says ‘Entire Screen’. 📲🔍
Start the Mirroring Process
Now comes the moment of magic! Take your iPhone and swipe down from the top right corner to access the Control Center. Here, click on the icon signifying screen mirroring. This should display your TV as an available device for mirroring. Going ahead and selecting the TV will initiate the mirroring process. It might take a few seconds, but you should suddenly find your iPhone screen reflected on your TV screen.🎬
Options Galore with AirScreen
Once the mirroring is established, you’ll find a handful of useful features available. You can screen record on the TV, force rotate your screen, and even set up audio recording. If you’re watching a video and hold your phone in landscape mode, it will automatically switch and fill up your TV screen.⏯🔄🔊. For better quality, you can adjust the video quality in settings, with 1080P being the highest resolution available.
