Screen Mirroring Apple Fitness Plus from Iphone to LG TV, not working...

Same issue - I was excited to check it out this morning. I bought a new watch last week and got 6 months of the Fitness + service. It counts down on the TV screen, then reverts back to the phone for the class. It also doesn’t acknowledge my AirPods.

Apple Fitness+ Bugs:

1. Not able to mirror my iPhone to my TV (black screen) - can’t see tiny screen while working out
2. Not able to see anything on TV hard wired with HDMI cable (black screen)
3. No Fitness+ on iPad

FRUSTRATING as Fitness+ was the reason to our Apple One Premier subscription. URGH....

Haha, so this is my ghetto rig to have Fitness + usable. Screen mirror your phones camera and point it at another device, in my case I have an iPad, that will run the Fitness +. This is ridiculous but the classes and functionality are good, just waiting for basic Airplay functionality. Shake my head maybe sooner than later if not I won’t renew.

Same problem. I can't mirror after the countdown and if I switch to a lighting cable to HDMI the screen also goes dark after countdown. Trying to do a HIIT class while watch a little phone is not optimal.

I have the same problem. I just contacted tech support and they said Apple Fitness is only compatible with Apple TV and iPads. It is not compatible with screen mirroring.

I bought my watch and lightning to HDMI cable just for Apple Fitness and now they want me to shell out more money for Apple TV. Ridiculous. Very very disappointed.

Because the phone is not capable of running the Fitness + software with the connection to the Watch and then stream this continuously to the TV via the HDMI cable. It is also running into a Digital Rights Management problem with the adapter/HDMI cable. The Apple TV is capable of running the software necessary and delivering an encrypted DRM stream to your TV while maintaining a connection with the Apple Watch and displaying the Watch information on the screen in real time. This is by design, try it in your other room.

It is a new service, if you think Apple should change it go here -> https://www.apple.com/feedback/ Even in the announcement event Apple only showed it working with other iDevices and has never stated it will work via mirroring.

Apple Fitness+ compatibility.

Apple Fitness+ requires Apple Watch Series 3 or later with watchOS 7.2 

or later and one of the following Apple devices: iPhone 6s or later with 

iOS 14.3 or later, iPad with iPadOS 14.3 or later, or Apple TV with 

tvOS 14.3 or later.1

that this seems to be more of a fight than a debate.

Neither are permitted here.

Apple can simply put this to rest with a simple statement on if it should work, with what devices and adapters and what will ever work with the devices/adapters out there.

This will not happen here. Apple does not make statements here. this is a user run community for asking and answering technical support questions.

This one has been asked and answered.

I respectfully disagree that it's well spelled out in that screenshot. This doesn't say anything about screen mirroring or AirPlay, just states which version of tvOS you need if you want to use the Apple TV version of the app.

Compare to something like the NFL app, which similarly blocks certain content but clearly states what does and doesn't work in the App description:

The NFL app allows use of AirPlay and Chromecast when viewing all

video-on-demand and select live content. However, the NFL app does not

permit outputs from phones of live games, NFL RedZone from NFL Network

or NFL Network to external displays via HDMI, Chromecast, AirPlay,

Miracast or other similar streaming functionality due to rights

restrictions. (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/nfl/id389781154)

So I’ve just had it confirmed from Apple, I think this is a terrible move & is going to cost them millions of subscriptions, myself included.

This product functions exactly as it is designed. I understand it doesn't function the way you think it should. If you want Apple to know your opinion, use the feedback page:
