AppleTv mirroring and zooming in and out?

4K AppleTv when iPhone is mirroring to Samsung TV it has stopped zooming in and out/ magnifying screen with AppleTv remote unless streaming a video from iPhone. But does not zoom in or out @ the Home Screen of iPhone or within any App I’m looking on my iPhone while mirroring which it has been working/ zooming in and out,, moving view around screen, etc since I purchased a longtime a couple years ago When I triple click Apple TV remote while mirroring my iPhone instead of zooming my iPhone screen on TV, I’ve noticed the actually zooming is happening the on Home page /previous/ background screen on my AppleTv. I’m sorry if long winded but I I’ve been searching for this answer for awhile with no luck. Thanks

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 15

CoachRob32,

Thank you for those details.

It may be best to reach out to Apple directly.

You can contact them by going to Get Support.

They will take a closer look and check on available options.

Cheers!

Hey CoachRob32,

It appears that you're having a problem using screen-mirroring from your iPhone to either your Apple TV or Samsung TV, and we're glad to provide assistance.

Before we are able to help, we need more information. Please reply to this post with the answer to the following questions:

Are you using an Apple TV 4K (2nd generation) or an Apple TV 4K (1st generation) (See Identify your Apple TV model - Apple Support) and which tvOS is it currently on (Settings > General > About)?
Which iPhone model are you using, and which iOS is it currently on (Settings > General > About)?
Which app on your iPhone are you using to play the movie?
Does this happen only happen with the content from just this one app, or others as well?
Does Zoom work with other 3rd party apps and Apple apps?
Is Zoom not working on your iPhone, your Apple TV, or directly to your Samsung TV?

Once we have the answers to those questions, we'll know better how to guide you.

All the best.

It’s an AppleTv 4k A1842 (32 GB) 1st Generation
tvOS 15.4.1(19L45211 Pro Max 256 GB

iOS 15.4.1

It plays movies perfectly from any iPhone or AppleTv apps.
While mirroring iPhone to Samsung Tv zoom functions using AppleTv remote do not work on anything within the iPhone.
Zoom functions No Longer work on or within any apps on iPhone when mirroring. All zoom functions work on and within all apps and content within and on AppleTv 4K.
*AppleTv: All the zoom functions work on any and all screens , apps, settings on my Samsung tv using AppleTv Remote.

* iPhone zooming

functions work on

iPhone itself.

For over 2 years I’ve been able to mirror my iPhone to my Samsung and use my AppleTv remote to use all zoom functions including iPhone Home Screen, any and all screens, pages, content, within in any and all apps I have on my iPhone but it just stopped. Every so often when mirroring iPhone I’ll triple click AppleTv remote and it will zoom out for a couple seconds then zoom out with and not quit working completely again

** When mirroring my iPhone and I attempt to activate zoom functions using my AppleTv remote such as triple click zoom in and out, 2 finger double tap to adjust zoom level, tap 2 finger zoom drag mode, etc.

I’ve noticed that Instead of the zooming functions working on mirrored content/ iPhone. It’s actually working but on the AppleTv Home page /previous screen / background screen/ behind the mirrored screen that I was viewing on Tv via my AppleTv 4K before I began mirroring my iPhone.

I tried not to over explain but when I tried to google with minimal wording in so many different ways and verbiage, I couldn’t locate what the the exact issue.

I appreciate your time.

Thank You! Have a Great Weekend.
