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.

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’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!

I have a fix! Contacted Apple support who listened and did a great job.

My issue was an old unused VPN account from years ago that was inactive and turned off (private internet access). I deleted the configuration and reset and bingo!

Settings > general > VPN

After “Settings” you need to click “Privacy” button next. Then you should find “Local Network”

unflagging the Private Address in the Wi-Fi settings solved the issue! I can now use chromecast using my ipad. But what are the risks of doing this?

under network settings:

Settings - click on the network ( i ) - and toggle the "Private Address"

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.

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!

The problem still exists.

I did a factory reset of all of my Chromecast devices, then added them back to my WiFi, all on the same ID. Next, I recreated my groups. The problem cleared, but returned the next day.

In the meantime, my Samsung (Android) tablet is working perfectly - even with also a blend of 2.4Mhz and 5Mhz - which was the case before. And the problem affects my Amazon Fire tablet as well.

I am guessing it will be a while before this problem clears up. (iOS update?)

I may order a cheap Chrome tablet in the meantime. It is irritating.

Nah mine's definitely an iOS issue. Spotify, Sonos, Netflix etc are all having the same problem and my phone can't cast to any device, chromecast or otherwise

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.

Exposing the IP address has nothing to do with the issue. If that worked on a specific iPhone it is coincidental.

In my humble opinion, it may be iOS/music-app related. I generally use the collection of music apps from RadioTunes and it is those which no longer cast properly from iOS. BUT they DO work properly on my Android tablet.

IN ADDITION, the Sirius app works perfectly every time.

The last iOS update contained security strengthening measures. In my humble opinion, the RadioTunes software (and others with which readers here are having trouble) need a tweak to their iOS hook.

In the screen shots below taken on 4/14, RadioTunes wants to connect, but the room list won’t populate.

Sirius, however, works perfectly.

Today I sent an email to RadioTunes and will report back here.

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 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.
