Our iPhone 10's do not not have the option to turn off 'screen mirroring' any advice?
Both mine and my husbands iphone's
Weird? See image here - I do not have Apple TV.
I think it is causing an issue with our Sonos system.
We would appreciate any help or a fix. Thanks!
iPhone X, iOS 12

It would appear that your iPhone is mirroring to X-Mirage, so I'd recommend that you first confirm that this is a legitimate use and that you're not inadvertently sending your iPhone's screen activity to someone's MacBook.
I've provided instructions how how to disconnect from screen mirroring -- does that not work?
And yes, this mirroring issue is not a Sonos issue at all, sorry I should have pointed that out explicitly.

See this image of anotehr iphone - with the option. https://discussions.apple.com/content/attachment/0e6f60dc-9d43-4b20-aee0-6fa18811fa40
First, X-Mirage is an application that lets you mirror your iPhone to a Mac or PC -- this is not an Apple TV being used as a target. In this case, Suraj has a Macbook with X-Mirage installed, and that's what your iPhone is currently Mirroring to. If you don't know what "X-Mirage" is, does your husband or anyone in your household? If not, are you on your own Wi-Fi or a neighbor's Wi-Fi -- i.e. perhaps "Siraj" is a neighbor? If it is someone in your household, try turning off X-Mirage and this should disappear from your iPhones.
Second, tapping on the circled area in the left image should result in what you've shown in the right image, just tap on "X-Miraj[Suraj MacBook Pro]" to turn off screen mirroring, or turn off X-Mirage at the source.
Thanks - But - No - that's not what I am saying.

It does with other iphones I have seen though.
It should have the option to 'stop mirroring' - but instead it is constantly looking for Apple tv.
Thanks!

Thanks for trying to clarify your question.
The option to "stop mirroring" does not pop up because it appears the iPhone is not currently mirroring. So there is nothing to stop.
Thank you. If you really think it is off - it seems to me that it's always 'Looking for Apple TV'
If it is off - then I can troubleshoot other interference as to why our Sonos is having an issue playing from iPhone iTunes library and not pandora.
Do you have a photo of an iphone with screen mirroring OFF?
Thank you. Thank you.
If you enter the Screen Mirroring option in Control Center, the Phone will always attempt to look for a Apple Tv to mirror to, as it expects that's what you want to do, since you are there.
Since there is no target Apple TV selected, and it cannot find an Apple TV, its always going to be searching until it finds something, or you exit out of that screen.
Aha! thank you. So I can rest easy knowing my iPhone is not actively running or mirroring.
Thank you - this all helps me - you have no idea.
I have been trying to figure out a few things with Sonos techs and we are all scratching our heads. They thought this might be the problem.
Thank you for being patient with me.

Yes, here is my iPhone with screen mirroring off. (I do have an Apple TV - it is off at the moment.)
Simply tap outside the dark "Screen Mirroring" box to return to Control Center.

Yes. Correct.
You're welcome.
we cannot turn off screen mirroring on our iPhone 10's with iOS 12.2
