AirPlay and Ipad
Why can I use AirPlay on my iPhone but not my iPad? Both are connected to my home network as is the tv that I'm trying to view photos on.
iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

You may find that restart of your network components will resolve the problem. You’ll need to restart your network devices in the correct order. Assuming that you WiFi Router provides DNS services for your network, restart devices in this order - allowing time for devices to fully boot/restart prior to restarting other devices:
- WiFi Router
- Upstream wired Network Switch(es)
- WiFi Access Points / Network Extenders
- Other fixed infrastructure devices - such as Printers
- Client devices
Restarting your iPad, after restarting other devices in the correct sequence, is most simply achieved by a forced-restart of the iPad:
- On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
- On an iPad with Face ID: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.
