Can I Connect My iPhone to My Smart TV Wireless?
You can connect your iPhone wirelessly to a smart TV as long as the TV is compatible with AirPlay 2. To find out if your TV is compatible with AirPlay 2, contact your TV manufacturer. If you know that both are compatible, here is how you look at your iPhone.
First, make sure that your iPhone and smart TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network and turned on.
On your iPhone, swipe down from the top right corner to open Control Center.
Tap Screen on Screen.
Select your TV from the list that appears. If the passcode is from your TV (possible for first-time users), enter the code on your iPhone to complete the connection.

How Can I Mirror My iPhone On My TV Without Apple TV?
If you do not have a compatible TV or Apple TV, you can still pair your iPhone with your TV, but you will need a cable to move your iPhone to your TV. Sometimes you will need an adapter to connect the cable to your iPhone. The specific adapter you need will depend on the iPhone model you are using and the available connections you have on your TV. Usually, that will be an HDMI connection, but older TVs may need a VGA adapter.
Once you have the right cable and adapter, all you have to do is connect your iPhone to your TV. You may need to change the TV input manually if it does not automatically detect the active device. Once you have seen your iPhone screen on TV, you will be able to match it successfully.
If you use this method, you will get exactly the repetition of your iPhone screen on your TV, so if you try to watch a movie on your iPhone on your TV, the picture may not fill the entire screen.
Is There a Mirror iPhone to TV App?
There are a few apps that will allow you to wirelessly display your iPhone to a TV that is not compatible with AirPlay 2. However, most of those apps require a streaming device, such as a Roku or Chromecast. If you have one of those devices, you can use device software to display your iPhone in most cases, without the need for any other app.
