Airplay only works when watching a video - Apple TV 3rd Gen
Hello, I purchased a used Apple TV 3rd Gen a while back for my LG TV and it works great on my iPhone 7, 8 and 6+. Any newer iPhone can't connect to Airplay unless a video or song is playing which I find very frustrating. What can be done settings wise? I plan on upgrading my iPhone soon and don't want to lose the basic function of airplay (beyond just streaming video, audio). This removes my ability to scroll through sites/apps and limits me to video and audio. I tested this on several new iPhones and mine always works flawlessly while the new ones don't. Is this a design to promote the newer Apple TV or is there a way to fix it?
