AirPlay requires an AirPlay receiver. That means an Apple TV set-top box or an AirPlay-enabled smart TV.

Using HDMI cables requires an HDMI adapter for the iPhone.
The Apple TV+ streaming service is blocked for use with HDMI adapters, or for use with AirPlay to an Apple TV (2nd generation) model. Devices you can use with the Apple TV app and Apple TV+ - Apple Support

I have a Samsung Smart TV. According to the source options, I should be able to do Screen Mirroring, but when I try to connect that way the devices do not recognize each other. I purchased an HDMI adapter, but when I tried to connect that way, the HDMI source option was grayed out.
For Airplay, and if your Tv supports it, make sure the Airplay option is turned in on your TV: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00082643/
For the HDMI cable, you need to select the correct input on your TV the iPhone is plugged into. The TV will not automatically switch to it.
