It’s definitely Google who are responsible for it: https://developers.google.com/cast

Even if the iOS update broke it (I’m not sure why Apple would randomly choose now / somehow inadvertently do it based on the patch notes for recent iOS updates - About the security content of iOS 15.2.1 and iPadOS 15.2.1 - Apple Support), it would be down to Google to work with Apple to fix it if they thought that Apple was the problem.

Chromecast is a closed source technology from Google, that’s only supported in apps that specifically support it, and it has nothing to do with Apple.

Do you mind going to Settings > Privacy > Local Network, and ensuring that the apps in question are toggled on.

You can also try Force restart iPad – Apple Support (UK).

Otherwise, you should How to contact an app developer – Apple Support (UK).

Hi, thank you for your reply!

i have set the local network toggled on And forced restart it…No change…

The problem is consistent with all apps that have the cast feature button.

Who implemented and is responsible for the cast button feature/api Apple or some other vendor?

Must be a lower level OS function that is called which probably changed with the last OS upgrade and this 3rd party isn't using it correctly in the cast button logic.

thank you!
