Why is screen mirroring from iphone to lg tv not working. Preview of fitness session works, countdown of session works. Screen goes black with audio only once session begins. How do I fix this?
iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 14
I apologize for not making things more clear.
I went ahead and bought the Apple 4K tv.
yes it works great! I was able to do as many workout on Fitness+ app that I wanted last night.
i am sore today because of it.
mad states before, my son had surgery and won’t be walking for about 5-6 weeks so that’s why I “bit the bullet” and bought the Apple 4K tv. For your Info, I was told the Apple HD also works for the Fitness+ app. I can confirm that also works because I saw it work at Beat Buy.
PLEASE NOTE: If you get one of the newest Apple TV streamers, you MUST update the firmware BEFORE you will see the Apple Fitness App ( in the way of the rings on your watch or phone or iPad) shows up on the tv.
I guess in the end it doesn’t matter why you buy it. Just know that I confirm on these two options, it does work very well.
As I posted in the official Apple Memo ( or whatever you want to call it) there will be NO OTHER WAY this will work except one of the two steamers.
Also there is NO credit being given to purchase one.
I hope this helps clear up any confusion.
Is 14.5 actually available everywhere yet? I don’t have any option to (in the uk)

Well, it's also one that is harmless to anyone reading here.
I have the same problem - is it available in the UK?
I don’t want AirPlay I want HDMI adapter output as my older TV in the basement doesn’t support AirPlay
I have the same problem. Very frustrating- sort it out,Apple!
Yeah I had the same issues. As far as Fitness+ on the iPad, you need to download the app to use it. I downloaded the app to get a slightly bigger screen using my iPad, but still frustrating nonetheless.
I mistakenly thought this would work on AppleTV+ on Roku, since you have to sign on with your Apple ID. We just bought a watch specifically for this, and were going to subscribe to Premier plan specifically for this. Even watching on an iPad seems crazy when there's a 65" screen right in front of us. So, perhaps cancelling the watch, and saving $300+ a year. I don't want to buy another streaming device to put on a smart TV.
I called Apple yesterday - there was nothing they can do. For now, you cannot stream it unless you have an Apple TV.
I told them I spent:
-$300 for an Apple Watch SE
-$400 for a new iPhone SE
-$50 for an Apple lightning cord
They told me to buy a $150 Apple TV....go to **** Apple.
Apple Support, that we’re forced to do idiotic things like this to screen mirror Fitness+ to a TV is insane.
Airplay 2 and screen mirroring should be supported by default on all of your apps. Get it together.
So hoping this issue is only temporary. I have a new iPhone , I bought an Apple Watch earlier in 2020, and I’m willing to buy a Fitness+ subscription , but only if I can hook up to my current tv with HDMI lightning cord (also Apple) . I can’t believe Apple would turn away free money cause customers don’t have an Apple TV ?
Just spoken to Apple support for the 2nd time about this... first time saying it was a bug that will get fixed, today it’s not supported at all! This is ridiculous, why should we as the consumers have to pay £150 for a new Apple TV just to have the luxury of viewing the workouts on our tv’s!
hope Apple sees this because consider my fitness plus subscription cancelled! My faith in Apple is dwindling by the second at this point!
It was just confirmed with me that you need an Apple TV to view the workout on your tv. I just spent $4000 on a new tv setup that can stream all my apple devices flawlessly except for this one app! I have 2 iPhones, 2 watches, 2 laptops, and an iPad but this is making me reconsider it all. Fitness plus is definitely not going to get renewed if this continues to be a issue.
Has anyone attempted to mirror an IPad with USB C? There is a video on You Tube showing that it worked for him https://youtu.be/xSEKzov6X-c
if it works on USB C I hope Apple will fix this issue for Lightening connection.
I thought it must have been an IPad pro which has a USB-C connection. Sorry if I was mistaken.
I will try a USB-C / HDMI connection and will post results.
On the Mac Rumors site there is also some mention of USB-C / HDMI working.
Not only won’t this work with screen mirroring but your Apple Watch won’t connect to your iPad so you don’t get any of your stats either. Apple’s strength has always been its integration of its products. Now my Apple TV 3rd gen won’t run Fitness+ and my iPad won’t work with my Apple Watch. You’re losing your touch Apple. This thing is going to fail if you don’t get some interoperability!
