Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, chrisfrometobicoke.


If I understand your post correctly, your iPhone is not responding after you tried to start screen mirroring. I’d like to help.


Follow the steps in this article:


Restart your iPhone


Then follow the steps found here:


If AirPlay or screen mirroring isn’t working on your device


Let us know if that resolves this issue for you.

Hello chrisfrometobicoke.


In order to isolate and fix this issue, you will need to restore your iPhone. Before you attempt any restore, I recommend you save and back up your iPhone’s data. Steps on how to back up an iPhone can be found here: How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


Once the backup has been completed, you can restore your iPhone. Steps on how to restore an iPhone can be found here:  Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings


Once that's done, I'd recommend setting your iPhone up as new, and testing it out before restoring from a backup. Check out this article for those steps: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup


Cheers.

Hello Joseph, I don't have an apple tv or anything to screen mirror, but I had just pushed the screen mirroring to see what happens and now I get the constant spinning icon that I cannot stop. I don't want to use the screen mirroring ,I just want to stop the spinning icon. I have already rebooted the phone a number of times to no avail. I have also reset settings that also did nothing, Thanks Chris
