Airplay

ᑭᒪᗴᗩᔕᗴ ᕼᗴᒪᑭ


So, generous me, allowing family staying within the same home as me to use my WiFi.

I connected an iPhone max to my WiFi network... the same as I am using... only to find out that all of sudden my airplay is visible to EVERYONE and my Bluetooth , which I continuously turn off, is on.


Guys, please tell me it’s a way I can view who has had access to my iPad screen without me knowing?

HomePod and Apple TV which serve as AirPlay targets are typically available to any device on the same local network. They may optionally require a passcode to connect if you set it up that way. AirPlay doesn't allow remote viewing of an iPad screen.


From Manage AirPlay settings on your Apple TV - Apple Support:


Go to Settings > AirPlay. From here, you can turn AirPlay on or off. You can also choose who can AirPlay to your Apple TV:

  • Everyone: Anyone can see and AirPlay to your Apple TV.
  • Anyone on the Same Network: Anyone connected to your home Wi-Fi network can AirPlay to your Apple TV.
  • Only People Sharing This Home: People that you invite to control your home in the Home app can AirPlay to your Apple TV.
  • Require Password: A password will be required before anyone can AirPlay to your Apple TV.


The options are similar for HomePod.


I don't know why Bluetooth might have been enabled on your phone if you've previously turned it off, but you would typically want it available if you have a HomePod, AirPods, an AppleWatch, or on your iPad if you have an Apple Pencil. Again merely having Bluetooth enabled doesn't mean that people sharing your Wi-Fi network have access to the content of your device.
