How to Screen Mirror iPhone to TCL TV

Sharing your iPhone screen with a TCL TV can be a great way to enjoy photos and videos, play games, or even use apps on a larger screen. There are two primary methods to achieve this: AirPlay and Miracast.

Screen Mirroring with AirPlay

AirPlay is Apple's wireless streaming technology that allows you to mirror your iPhone's screen to Apple TV, AirPlay 2-compatible devices, and even some smart TVs, including TCL models. To use AirPlay for screen mirroring, your TCL TV must support AirPlay 2.

Here's how to screen mirror your iPhone to a TCL TV using AirPlay:

Ensure your TCL TV is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iPhone.
On your iPhone, open the Control Center by swiping down from the top-right corner of the screen (or swiping up from the bottom edge on older models).
Tap the "Screen Mirroring" icon (it looks like a rectangle with a triangle on the bottom).
Select your TCL TV from the list of available devices.

Once connected, your iPhone's screen will be mirrored onto your TCL TV. To stop mirroring, simply tap the "Screen Mirroring" icon again and select "Stop Mirroring."

Screen Mirroring with Miracast

Miracast is an open standard for wireless screen mirroring, and while not as widely supported as AirPlay, it can be a useful option if your TCL TV doesn't support AirPlay 2.

To use Miracast, both your iPhone and your TCL TV must have Miracast functionality. Here's how to screen mirror your iPhone to a TCL TV using Miracast:

Ensure your TCL TV and iPhone are on the same Wi-Fi network.
On your TCL TV, navigate to the settings menu and look for options related to "Screen Mirroring," "Wireless Display," or "Miracast."
The specific wording may vary depending on your TV model.
Enable Miracast on your TCL TV.
On your iPhone, open the Control Center by swiping down from the top-right corner of the screen (or swiping up from the bottom edge on older models).
Tap the "Screen Mirroring" icon.
Select your TCL TV from the list of available devices.

Your iPhone should now be mirrored on your TCL TV. To stop mirroring, simply tap the "Screen Mirroring" icon again and select "Stop Mirroring."

Troubleshooting Tips

Here are some common troubleshooting tips if you're experiencing issues with screen mirroring:

Verify Wi-Fi Connection: Make sure both your iPhone and TCL TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network and have a strong signal.
Check TV Settings: Ensure that screen mirroring or Miracast is enabled on your TCL TV and that the TV's firmware is up to date.
Restart Devices: Restarting both your iPhone and TCL TV can sometimes fix connectivity issues.
Check Compatibility: Make sure your TCL TV supports either AirPlay 2 or Miracast. Not all models support both.
Update iOS: Make sure your iPhone is running the latest iOS version.

While screen mirroring is a convenient feature, it's important to remember that it may drain your iPhone's battery more quickly. Keep an eye on your battery level and adjust your settings accordingly.
