Chromecast not working after ios14 update

This was happening to me. I found this on another search for help, and it works. When I went to Local Network the apps that weren’t casting were turned off. Once turned on. It works! Hope this helps.

1. On your iOS device’s home screen, tap Settings. 
2. Tap Privacy  Local Network. You’ll find a list of apps.
3. Turn on Local Network Access for the app(s) you would like to cast from. This will allow permissions for Cast to discover local devices when casting.

I'm having the same issue. Local network access is enabled for all apps affected in settings but the apps themselves are not noticing.

Tried a restart, deleting and reinstalling apps, icloud logout, and even a wipe and reinstall phone. The latter worked for about 4 hours then it reverted to this again. I'm out of ideas

SOLVED: I was having the same problem with a TV using chromecast. I found that unflagging the Private Address in the Wi-Fi settings solved the problem, as well as checking in Privacy-local network that the app was green.

It connects to WiFi, but the Chromecast isn’t working on my apps. The box doesn’t even pop up. But the WiFi is connected to both. It works for only youtube and prime video, nothing else works

I have turned on Local Network for all apps including Google Home through privacy and each individual app. I have tried turning on/off restarting my iPhone 11, yet it still doesn’t let me add my chrome cast so show any.

The image below went through, connected to my wifi but then prompted this. It found the chrome cast but I get blocked here.

Same here problem still exist, done multiple reset with my Chromecast but apparently the next day I need to reset again🤔

Though my android devices even my desktop and my laptop are casting well.

I'm guessing its really the update, IOS 14.4 affects the problem.

Hoping that it will be OK the soonest. Keep me updated if it clears on your end then i'll do the same.

Thanks.

It is not trouble with wifi. Chromecast not working visible on iPhone and iPad Pro anymore after iOS 14 Update. It is also not possible to reset it and make a new connection, because Bluetooth doesn't show the chromecast anymore.

I’m having the same issue and it’s driving me insane. When I try to cast something from my

phone, Chromecast isn’t even an option anymore. I’ve tried Netflix, HBO, Hulu, and YouTube on various TVs. Only my Firestick shows up on my Hisense.

I have iPhone 11 and 14.4 update. If you have a more updated phone that could be the difference. Mine TVs all work, but my continued problems seem to be my Samsung TVs are the ones that keep dropping Chromecast and almost force me to do Air Play/Mirror screening. I have to unplug my TVs and internet then reconnect....a lot. My Android TVs are fine. I’m wondering if Samsung/Smart TVs are trying to force people to start using their air play/screen mirroring over Chromecast. Maybe it’s the TVs! Maybe we need to turn OFF Air Play on TVs to stop over riding the Chromcast.

For Samsung TVs:

Change AirPlay 2 settings on your TV

If you need to adjust some of your AirPlay 2 settings, you can do it directly on your TV. Just navigate to Settings, select General, and then select Apple AirPlay Settings.

You will find the following options:

• AirPlay: Selecting this option will turn the AirPlay feature on and off.
• Require Code: You have the option to require a passcode the first time you connect your iPhone, every time you connect your Apple device, or to create your own passcode. From this menu you can also select Reset Paired Devices which will clear all Apple devices from the TV's memory.
• Subtitles and Captioning: In this menu, you can turn captions and subtitles on or off. You also have several options to adjust the look of the captions such as font, size, and color.
• About AirPlay: Here you can find the AirPlay version that is currently running, and see legal information about the software.

Hi - this is also an issue for me. Just want to confirm that the new update didn’t, for some reason, make it more difficult to use a Google product...

Make sure your internet on your phone is the same as your house internet. We have two, a 2G and a 5G, so I have to always make sure both TV and Phone are on the same one. Also, we lost our Chromecast option briefly yesterday, (even though it said I was still connected to internet) once I disconnected from my internet on the TV end and then re-logged in, It reconnected. Hope these help. You seem so close!

It’s not just turning on Local Network. Once in the local network you should see the apps requesting to use Chromcast and you enable those.

1. Settings
2. Privacy
3. Local network
4. Chose Each separate App to allow access

If this doesn’t help you might have a different issue. Hope this helps!
