Want to enjoy streaming content from your iPhone or iPad on the large screen of your Apple TV? Follow this comprehensive guide to learn how you can wirelessly connect your Apple TV with your iOS device.
Step 1: Ensure That Both Your iOS Device and Apple TV Are Turned On and Connected to the Same Network
The very first step you should take is to make sure that your Apple TV is powered on and is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iOS device. To do this, head to the “Settings” menu on your Apple TV followed by “Network”. Now, enter your Wi-Fi credentials to connect your Apple TV to the local network. On your iOS device, go to “Settings” followed by “Wi-Fi” to connect your iPad or iPhone to the same network.
Step 2: Using AirPlay to Stream Content from Your iOS Device to Your Apple TV
Whether you’re looking to cast movies, music, photos, or even games, you’ll need to make use of the AirPlay protocol. This is one of the main methods to wirelessly project your iPad or iPhone’s content on the large screen of your Apple TV. Here’s how you can do it:
Once both your iOS device and Apple TV are connected to the same network, make sure that they are both within range of each other. Now, open the content you want to cast on your iOS device then swipe up from the bottom of its screen to open Control Center. Here, you’ll find the AirPlay icon on the top-right corner. Tap it and select your Apple TV followed by “Mirror Apple TV”.
Step 3: Mirroring the Display of Your iOS Device on Your Apple TV
In case you’re looking to mirror the entire display of your iPad or iPhone on your Apple TV, there’s another way to go about it. To do this, you must have an Apple TV of the third generation or higher. Here’s what you should do:
Open the Control Center on your iOS device (from Step 2) then tap the AirPlay icon followed by “Mirroring” and select your Apple TV. Alternatively, you can open the “Control Center” on your Apple TV by holding down the TV button on its remote and selecting the “Screen Mirroring” option.
That’s all it takes to connect your Apple TV with your iOS device. By following this guide, you’ll have your Apple TV streaming content from your iPhone or iPad in no time.
