Mirroring your iPhone's screen to your TV's display

What to Know

  • The easiest way to connect: Open AirPlay on your iPhone > open the content app > tap the Airplay icon.
  • Another way: Link your iPhone to your Samsung TV with a Lightning Digital AV Adapter and an HDMI cable.
  • Or, try an app with mirroring capabilities, such as the Samsung SmartView app.

This article explains how to connect your iPhone to a TV so you can play or share content from the phone to the TV using screen mirroring. Methods include using AirPlay, linking your phone and TV with a digital AV adapter, or using a mirroring app.

Use Airplay to Connect an iPhone to a Samsung TV

You can connect your iPhone to Samsung TVs that support Airplay 2, including models from 2018 and later.

How to Use AirPlay Mirroring

  1. Make sure that both the iPhone and TV are on the same Wi-Fi connection.

  2. Check that you've enabled Airplay on your iPhone.

  3. Open the app from which you want to stream.

  4. Tap the Airplay icon.

    In some apps, such as Photos, you need to tap the Share icon first.

Use a Lightning Digital AV Adapter to Screen Mirror

This is one of the easier options, but you will need to buy or acquire a specific adapter from Apple for it to work. The Lightning Digital AV Adapter can be found for around $49.00 and works with most iOS devices, including iPhones and iPads. You will need to have an extra HDMI cable ready to use, as it will be used to physically link your iPhone to your Samsung TV.

  1. Connect the AV Adapter to your iPhone.

  2. Connect the HDMI cable to the AV Adapter. You will see the port on the adapter where the HDMI cable needs to be plugged into. 

  3. Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the Samsung TV.

  4. Set the source on the Samsung TV to the input you connected the HDMI cable to. You should now see your iPhone’s screen mirrored on your Samsung TV. 

Use the Samsung SmartView App to Connect

If you prefer a wireless solution for connecting your iPhone to your Samsung Smart TV, some apps can help. 

When using screen mirroring apps, the Smart TV and the iPhone must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. The apps will not function if your phone and TV are on different networks. 

The Samsung SmartView app is a free app you can install on your phone to allow screen mirroring to your smart TV.

Here's how:

  1. Make sure that both the iPhone and TV are on the same Wi-Fi connection.

  2. Launch the Samsung SmartView app. It will ask you to enter the code that appears on your Samsung Smart TV screen.

  3. Enter the pin, and the device should automatically connect to your TV.

Other Apps With Mirroring Capabilities

Some apps like YouTube have their own way of mirroring the iPhone screen to your TV. Then you can watch your favorite YouTube videos right on your TV instead of the small screen on your phone.

FAQ

  • How do I turn off screen mirroring on an iPhone?

    To turn off AirPlay and stop screen mirroring your iPhone, open Control Center and select Screen Mirroring. Select the option to Stop Mirroring or Stop AirPlay.

  • Why is screen mirroring not working on my iPhone?

    If AirPlay isn't working and the screen mirroring feature isn't activating, your Wi-Fi connection may be disabled, or the AirPlay devices, such as your iPhone and smart TV, may not be turned on or close enough to each other. Try restarting your devices to fix the issue.

  • Why is there no sound when screen mirroring with my iPhone?

    If you don't hear audio properly when using your iPhone with an AirPlay-compatible device, the sound may be down or off on one or both devices. Check to see if sound is muted on the iPhone or the other device. Check your iPhone's ring/silent switch to ensure sound is turned on.

#1 app to screen mirroring your iPhone or iPad to Samsung Smart TV.

Application to mirror the screen of your iPhone or iPad to any Samsung Smart TV. No wires and no additional hardware needed! You can mirror anything from your iPhone or iPad to your Samsung TV.

To mirror video as well as audio, please make sure that you start mirroring when you are in the app (Photos, YouTube, Facebook etc.) that you want to mirror to your TV.
Enjoy everything on TV from your iPhone, iPad & Mac.

This works on any Samsung Smart TV from the 2012 models onward. Which model year do you have? You can see that by looking at the middle letter in your model type (on the back of your Samsung TV).

E = 2012
F = 2013
H = 2014
J = 2015
K = 2016
M = 2017
N = 2018
R = 2019
T = 2020
Q = QLED (also supported)

For instance:

UE55_E_S8000 = 2012.
UE78_H_U8500L = 2014.

In using the app, there will be a couple of seconds of latency (usually between 1 and 3). So this mirroring is not suitable for gaming.

However, it is very suitable for watching movies, giving presentations, watching photos, and much more!

How the app works:

1. Make sure that your iPhone or iPad is connected to the same local network as your Samsung TV. Don't use multiple VLANs or subnets.

2. Launch the Mirror for Samsung TV app. It will start looking for your Samsung TV(s) on your local network. When a TV is found, please select it. When you use this app for the first time, depending on your model Samsung TV, the TV might ask you to "allow" the connection. In that case, take your TV Remote Control and press OK to allow the connection from your TV to your iPhone or iPad.

3. Turn on notifications for this app. We will not spam you, but we will use this to let you know if your TV is working correctly or not. So please, please allow it, otherwise when things don't work as they should, you are left in the dark.

4. Click on Start Mirroring to start mirroring on the TV that is currently selected. After that, you can just go to any other app on your iPhone or iPad and the mirroring just continues to run.

5. To stop mirroring, there are two options. (1) click on the red top bar that you will see on your iPhone or iPad. (2) Go to the Mirror for Samsung TV app and click on Stop Mirroring.

Limitations and known issues:

DRM

Some apps block Screen Mirroring. This means that application developers can choose themselves if they want to block Screen Mirroring. For instance, Netflix, Disney and AppleTV+ have decided to block this.

You can purchase the Mirror for Samsung TV Pro Version through an in app purchase.

The Pro Version has the following features:
1. Adds audio to the screen mirroring
2. Provides for free lifetime updates of the app
3. Gives the option to choose higher screen resolutions, like 720p and 1080p

Worked From The Start

Let me start by stating that I don’t understand why this app has low ratings. I tried at least 5 apps that had trial version with severe limitations before reaching this solution. I literally spent days trying to get them to work with with my Samsung TV and PC. None of them worked, not even partially.
I finally found this solution. I was put off because there was no trial version for Samsung, but they did have a trial version for the PC that worked out the gate. I took a chance since this was only $5 and went ahead and purchased. I have to say , I’m glad I did. It worked with no configurations and immediately picked up my SamsungTV that I purchased 7 years ago.
The only thing that gives me pause for this software is the 2-3 second lag, hence the 4 stars. I’m on the latest iPad Pro, running over a Fios gigabit wireless network, so I would think with the performance of my hardware and speed of my network that this would be less of a issue. Anyway, worth what I paid for sure.

It works, don’t trust the bad reviews!

Okay so I was understandably skeptical of the app because of the rather low ratings. It had many one star reviews saying the app just didn’t work. But over quarantine I’ve been having to take online classes and was pretty desperate because I had to get a class in before my cardio training. So, with no other choice but to try it out, I forked the 5 dollars over.

I can tell you one hundred percent, it WAS WORTH IT. It only buffered once throughout my entire training (which is about 45 minutes) and even that buffer was very short. I didn’t even need to contact support, even though other reviews say their technical support is quite fast if you have any issues. So yes, I’m here to tell you to get the app if you have a phone that just refuses to connect to your Samsung TV. It works, it’s quick, and it’s a one time payment! Most other apps I checked out had better reviews, but had a 12 dollar monthly fee and no free trial. Yeah, no thanks. Just take the risk, pay the 5 bucks, and I promise you won’t be disappointed. I normally don’t even leave reviews for apps, but this was too good.

And as for the devs of this you are GENIUSES. I spent half an hour searching for a way to connect and this app was my saving grace. God bless you guys, I’d kiss you if I could! Goodluck to any future buyers, and thanks to the devs.

It works and customer support is amazing!

After doing a tremendous amount of research for mirroring with my Samsung TV and my iPhone X, I chose this app. I was able to get it to Mirror quite quickly. I reached out to the customer support through messenger and I could not believe how quickly I had a reply! I was having a challenge using one particular website and trying to get it to Mirror with appropriate sound through the television. The mirror part worked just fine however I could not understand why the volume would only come out of my phone. Apparently it has to do with certain websites blocking the ability to mirror and the customer service person was excellent about helping me with this and to verify it through a couple of simple steps. This app is well worth it if you wish to mirror things from your phone. Note: some websites may only allow sound thru your device. Support was outstanding.
