How to Screen Mirror iPhone to Samsung TV 6 Series

Screen mirroring is a convenient way to share your iPhone's display on a larger screen, like your Samsung TV 6 Series. Whether you want to watch movies, play games, or showcase presentations, this feature enables you to enjoy a more immersive experience. This guide outlines two common methods for screen mirroring your iPhone to your Samsung TV 6 Series.

Method 1: Using Apple AirPlay

Apple AirPlay is a built-in feature on iPhones, iPads, and Macs that allows you to wirelessly stream content to compatible devices, including Samsung TVs. Here's how to screen mirror your iPhone using AirPlay:

Ensure Both Devices are on the Same Network:
Connect both your iPhone and Samsung TV 6 Series to the same Wi-Fi network.
Enable AirPlay on Your Samsung TV:
Navigate to the TV's settings menu and find the "Screen Mirroring" or "AirPlay" option. Enable it. Depending on your TV model, you might need to go into the "Smart Hub" section to locate AirPlay settings.
Open the Control Center on Your iPhone:
Swipe down from the top-right corner of your screen (or up from the bottom edge on older iPhone models) to access the Control Center.
Select Screen Mirroring:
Tap on the "Screen Mirroring" icon within the Control Center.
Choose Your Samsung TV:
A list of available AirPlay devices will appear. Select your Samsung TV 6 Series from the list. Your iPhone's screen should now be mirrored on the TV.

Note: If your Samsung TV 6 Series is older than 2018, it may not support AirPlay. In this case, you can opt for the second method outlined below, which utilizes the SmartThings app.

Method 2: Using the SmartThings App

Samsung's SmartThings app allows you to control various Samsung devices, including TVs, from your smartphone. It also offers a screen mirroring feature that can be used to display your iPhone's screen on your Samsung TV.

Download the SmartThings App:
Download the SmartThings app from the App Store on your iPhone.
Create an Account (If Necessary):
If you haven't already, create a SmartThings account or log in to your existing one.
Add Your Samsung TV:
Open the app and follow the prompts to add your Samsung TV 6 Series. You may need to enable "SmartThings" in the TV settings.
Open the SmartThings App's Screen Mirroring Feature:
Locate the "Screen Mirroring" option within the SmartThings app. This feature might be located under "More" or "Devices" in the main menu.
Select Your Samsung TV:
Within the screen mirroring section, choose your Samsung TV 6 Series from the list of available devices.
Confirm Mirroring:
On your iPhone, you will receive a prompt to confirm the mirroring connection. Tap "Start Mirroring" to start the process.

Once connected, your iPhone's screen will be mirrored onto your Samsung TV. You can use the app to control mirroring settings and disconnect as needed.

Troubleshooting Screen Mirroring Issues

If you encounter difficulties screen mirroring your iPhone to your Samsung TV 6 Series, consider these troubleshooting steps:

Check Network Connectivity:
Verify that both your iPhone and Samsung TV 6 Series are connected to the same Wi-Fi network and that the connection is stable.
Enable Bluetooth on Your iPhone:
While not strictly necessary, ensuring Bluetooth is enabled on your iPhone can sometimes resolve connectivity issues.
Restart Both Devices:
Restart both your iPhone and Samsung TV. This can often resolve temporary software glitches that may be causing the mirroring problem.
Update Software:
Make sure both your iPhone and Samsung TV 6 Series are running the latest software updates. Software updates frequently include bug fixes and improved compatibility with other devices.
Check Compatibility:
Although most recent Samsung TVs support screen mirroring, older models may not. Verify that your Samsung TV 6 Series supports either AirPlay or the SmartThings app for screen mirroring.
Clear AirPlay History:
If you have previously used AirPlay to connect to other devices, clearing the AirPlay history on your iPhone can sometimes resolve connection issues. You can do this in the Control Center by tapping on the "Screen Mirroring" icon and then tapping on the "Forget This Device" option.
