Screen mirroring allows you to display the contents of your iPhone's screen on your Roku TV, giving you the ability to enjoy your favorite apps, videos, and photos on a larger screen. In this guide, I'll walk you through the step-by-step process of screen mirroring your iPhone to a Roku TV without any hassle.
Before we begin, make sure you have a compatible Roku TV and an iPhone running iOS 11 or later. Also, ensure that both your iPhone and Roku TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Now, let's get started:
1. On your Roku TV, go to the home screen by pressing the Home button on your Roku remote.
2. Navigate to the "Settings" option using the arrow keys on your remote and press the OK button to select it.
3. In the Settings menu, scroll down and select "System" followed by "Screen mirroring."
4. On your iPhone, swipe up from the bottom of the screen (or down from the top-right corner on iPhone X or later) to open the Control Center.
5. In the Control Center, tap on the "Screen Mirroring" or "AirPlay" option. If you don't see these options, swipe left to access more controls and look for the Screen Mirroring or AirPlay icon.
6. Your iPhone will now search for available devices to connect to. Wait for your Roku TV to appear in the list of available devices and tap on it to establish the connection.
7. On your Roku TV, you will see a prompt asking you to allow the connection. Use the arrow keys on your Roku remote to highlight "Allow" and press the OK button.
8. Once the connection is established, your iPhone's screen will be mirrored on your Roku TV. You can now navigate through your iPhone's apps, play videos, or view photos, and they will be displayed on the TV.
To stop screen mirroring, simply open the Control Center on your iPhone again, tap on the Screen Mirroring or AirPlay icon, and select "Stop Mirroring" or "Disconnect."
Please note that some apps may have restrictions on screen mirroring due to copyright or licensing agreements. In such cases, you may see a black screen or an error message on your TV.
