Airplay Not Working with iOS 14.6

Thank you @Julianisch that worked for me. None of my devices were showing up on my iPhone 12 Pro after upgrading to iOS 14.6. I could see the Airplay devices on other iOS devices.

Goto: Settings > General > AirPlay & Handoff

Then turned off: Handoff

Rebooted the iPhone as an extra step and the devices are now showing up again!!!

Thank you everyone on this thread.

Hi, Nguyening. In that case, we'd recommend following the steps outlined here in this article: If AirPlay or screen mirroring isn't working on your device

If you still can’t use AirPlay after trying these steps, Contact Apple Support.

Take care.

I had the same problem. The only thing I use AirPlay for is playing Spotify audio over my Sony A/V receiver. My phone would show that I was connected via Airplay to my A/V receiver but the audio would come out of my phone's speakers only. I tried power cycling the phone, the receiver, and even a factory reset of the phone and receiver. The factory reset of the iPhone was the only thing that worked but then the problem recurred soon after.

I found a temporary fix that is WAY more convenient than a factory reset. If I uninstall and reinstall Spotify from my iPhone, Airplay begins working again and will work for a week or more before the problem recurs. I don't know if the problem is with the Spotify app or with iOS. I suspect that when I go directly from Airplay over my A/V to Bluetooth over my car audio system, the automatic switch-over to my car's bluetooth causes some kind of glitch that eventually causes Airplay to cease functioning.

Hi, Nguyening, and welcome to the Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're having issues getting AirPlay to work after updating. We'll be glad to help out.

Since it appears that it is detecting the AirPlay devices, it could be a simple connection issue that may be resolved by restarting. Have you been able to try restarting both the iPhone and AirPlay devices to see if this issue persists afterwards?

Thanks for reaching out.

Cheers!

HeY. I had the same Problem After updating to 14.6 But only on the ipad, AirPlay on iPhoneX was still working.

But i was able to fix it. i dont know How exactly, But I Turned on „handoff“ in the airplay Settings and I did a restart. And then suddenly it worked again.

i Hope it will work at your devices too!

Hi, Nguyening. To expand on this further, are there other Apple devices that you use AirPlay with on the same network? If so, are those performing properly? The reason we ask, is we'd like to narrow this down to see if that particular iPhone itself is potentially causing the issue, or if it's something else.

We look forward to hearting back from you.

Take care!

Nguyening: I agree, your problem seems to be an Apple issue. Hope you find an answer soon.

Btw, I solved my issue yesterday. It was not a conventional solution though. I started the firmware upgrade process on the reciever, sort of by mistake. I already had the latest version but I was just searching around in all the preferences. The user interface didn't like to start the firmware upgrade dialogue without select file. The process gone into a loop that I was forced to terminate after about 45 mins. Restarted the reciever and voilá... all my Apple units was able to reach AirPlay service! :)

I'm not sure why that solved the problem, I guess the initiation of firmware upgrade was a better way to reboot the reciever. Maybe more like a shutdown and start up, than a ordinary restart...

Hello, i have the same problem but I try this....

i have 2 speakers with airplay and 2 Avt3 and one AirPort Express with Airplay 2. I probe all the speakers with airplay one and Avt3 using speaker mode and does not work at all.

But if I use airplay by airport express this work fine, no trouble.

then I probe with mi iPhone 7 with iOS 14.2, its works in any speaker, no trouble to connect, inclusive on a Raspberry pi Shairport-sync.

I think apple it's starting to kill airplay 1 .

:(

Restore all the configuration, for me works fine

SAME HERE. Its gotten worse with iOS 14.6. This is really pathetic. This is why Apple need to allow downgrades. I can't AirPlay to any of my TVs. Not even my Apple TVs. So disappointed in Apple. I'm sure iOS 14.7 will have the same problem

Same issue here. iPhone 11 on the most current iOS trying to airplay to an Apple TV 4K, also with latest tvOS. Reset both devices several times. Does not work. Seems like a software glitch. Please fix
