Lightning Digital AV Adapter issue after iOS 16 upgrade

I have 2 adaptors and neither works on Prime or Paramount+. Quit working as soon as I updated to 16. Netflix works but I would really like to watch the other things I have that I bought this adaptor for! The 2 adaptors I have are currently useless.

I solved my issue with the following guide (chapter Allow access to USB accessories): Using USB accessories with iOS and iPadOS - Apple Support

PLUS you have to reboot the phone after you perform the setting change.

Hi kempnada, If you read the discussions you will see it has nothing to do with video issues. The issue is the sound no longer working after IOS 16. I haven’t heard of anyone having an issue with a locked phone, I know I never have. Also the available options don’t have that option of unlocking when using USB, it now says accessories, which isn’t the issue anyway as you are not using USB when using the DV adapter from an iPhone. This forum is for loss of sound after IOS16 which Apple still refuses to acknowledge. They won’t respond.

I just got off the phone with an Apple tech complaining of the same issue. She said that the iOS I was using was old (iOS 16.1.1 that I downloaded about 3 weeks ago), and that I should download the newest version that was released a few days ago. I have not had the opportunity to download the new OS because I am unable to access Wifi where I am. However, I plugged in my iPad running iOS 15 to the adapter to the TV, and it worked flawlessly, both picture and volume…it’s not the adapter. It looks to be the older iOS 16.

I own three A/V to Lightning Adaptors. Tried them all.

My Netflix, Disney+ & Apple TV+ Streaming Sites all work fine with the adaptor. Netflix works best by far.

My Prime, Hulu & Paramount+ Streaming App.’s no longer work.

Commercials &/or Previews/Trailers work but not movies or series episodes.

Zero Sound and the video is slowed / skips.

Running 16.2 on iPhone.

This to me proves the issue is the iPhone OS.

I hope Apple can fix this major issue someday…

Hi RedRowe. I did try a HDMI Splitter on multiple Samsung and Vizio TVs, including one with a HDMI Switch already installed to up the number of HDMI ports. No luck. Still not working. Currently on iOS build 16.2. The Splitter wasn't very expensive, but I did return it to Amazon when it wasn't successful.

Yup, since probably about the day after the upgrade for me. I wish they would let us know that yes we acknowledge the issue, but we aren’t going to do anything about it to support that technology anymore and pull the adapter from their product line. At least then we can look at alternative Apple platforms. This shows they don’t really give a $&@$ about us.

I just now noticed this too myself a little bit ago… Well, I noticed it first about 2 to 3 weeks ago while in a hotel room while trying to watch a movie with a buddy of mine I work with and I just thought it was because of a slow Internet connection in our hotel room but just tonight I tried watching another movie with him in a different hotel with better wifi, from my iPad and had the same exact problem.

After doing a little bit of research, it sounds like it won’t do you any good to get with Apple on this because from what I gathered, due to the ongoing battle against piracy, there’s some new copyright or copyguard-type stuff going on with this new iOS update that makes it to where like if a specific streaming app doesn't want to allow screen sharing through that wired HDMI adapter, Apple had to honor it by incorporating something into the software that prevents mirroring what’s on your iPhone or iPad to your TV while using a particular app.

Some streaming apps don’t care but others do. Some of my streaming apps, I can screen-mirror just fine but some of my other ones, I can’t. They’ll play just fine from my phone or from my iPad but as soon as either device recognizes when the AV adapter is plugged in, all the sudden I start having terrible playback issues which consist of choppy picture with no audio, black screen with audio or a white screen that looks like it’s heavily pixelated, with audio.

Being that I spend a lot of time in hotels with my job, I’m probably just gonna have to invest in a cheap Google Chromecast so that I can cast whatever I want to watch from my phone to any TV, no cord necessary to make some paranoid corporate exec think I’m trying to steal copywrited material.

I’ve done what most of u have done, bought 2av adapters, 2 hdmi cables, than just today I pulled the lightning charger cable from the av adapter and I have picture and sound. If I plug it back in I lose the picture, sound. Have yet to figure why.

Hmm, I be derned…. Oh well, I only was using my A/V adapter for when I stay in a hotel and want to watch something from one of my apps but since I figured the issue with that was permanent, I just bought another Apple TV to go in my bedroom so that I could take the google chromecast that was in there with me when I travel. Works better than that adapter anyways.

I have now updated to iOS 16.3 and Fox now seems to working fine. Looks as though someone at Apple was taking notice. It would have been nice for Apple to acknowledge the issue, not just leave us all to be disappointed in them.

New IPhone 14Pro with IOS16 and unable to display Prime/Netflix on tv via the Apple Digital Adapter/HDMI on our tv’s. Adapter and HDMI worked fine before I switched phones and got the new IOS! APPLE needs to fix this setting in the next release of the operating system, or create a work around, please!

Lightning Digital AV Adapter does not send any video from iPhone 14 Pro with iOS 16.1.2.. Frustrating as this affects my business.

Mi iPad no transmite por HDMI a TV luego de la actualización
