Unknown Apple TV AirPlay

Hi,


I’ve been reading about the issue and it seems like you can airplay to any device connected to the same WiFi as your iPhone.


I only have HomePod (living room) and Samsung tv, are the other two from someone using my WiFi (hacking my network?)

If you have no Apple TV box, then the mention of that in your AirPlay Audio Controls shows devices in the vicinity that allow you to connect to (they may or may not ask for a password). It doesn’t mean that those are on your network. (You’ll want to check for that through your router.)


Those neighbors might want to adjust their settings to not allow others to connect to their Apple TV box or AirPlay speakers. Not allow everyone, and not allow nearby without being on the same network.
