I'm having issues with the lightning/hdmi connector since iOS 16 update

Since I updated my iOS to 16.2 to my inexpensive, lightning adapter doesn’t work as well. It does work with almost everything on Crackle an does work ( if you get the app in your area)for LocalNow. Also a lot, but not all YouTube works; depends on who’s providing the content. Good luck out here in the wonderful digital world 🤟🤟🤟

Here is the product info on Apple's web page. They need to add a disclosure that content from streaming apps are blocked. Or there should be a class action suit. This is false advertising in my opinion. (bold/underlined emphasis added by me.)

*Use the Lightning Digital AV Adapter with your iPhone,

iPad, or iPod with Lightning connector. The Lightning Digital AV Adapter

supports mirroring of what is displayed on your device screen —

including apps, presentations, websites, slideshows, and more — to your

HDMI-equipped TV, display, projector, or other compatible display in up

to 1080p HD.

It also outputs video content — movies, TV shows,

captured video — to your big screen in up to 1080p HD. Simply attach the

Lightning Digital AV Adapter to the Lightning connector on your device

and then to your TV or projector via an HDMI cable (sold separately).*

If the problem is in fact because of carriers wanting to limit use of unlimited data, it's not universal on all apps. Some apps like Pluto TV still stream both video and audio just fine for me with the lightning to HDMI cable. So I'm not 100% sure that's the answer. If it was, why would Pluto TV and a couple others still work fine? I forget which of the ones I tried other than Pluto TV still work, but some do. Hulu only displays video without sound for me now Prime and Netflix also quit working.

I don't believe it's a carrier issue. Like I posted above if you turn of and on your device everything works like it did before. I'm certain there is something in the software that changed when they added Stage Manager.

No. I was at Apple Store yesterday. They said since other streaming apps are working it’s probably that Hulu needs to update their app. I’m going to try to connect Hulu directly & see.

Hi Folks!

it’s not the app, it’s Apple!

…… call Apple again and see what they say 😇

Good luck

after installing iOS 16 Hulu and prime video do not function properly using the Apple hdmi adapter choppy, no audio, Disney and Netflix work as advertised I am an otr truck driver use this feature to have tv in my truck worked great up to now can I remove iOS 16 until this issue is resolved?

Same here. Hulu not working with lightening usb anymore since latest update. Either no sound with pic or no pic with sound. Works with Netflix still. I have uninstalled & re installed & hard reset with no luck. Anyone find out anything yet?

It’s not a glitch. Apple closed a loophole for AT&T, T Mobile and Verizon. If you had no internet service, except your iPhone, and used your iPhone as a hotspot and connected to your TV via the Lighting AV, you could watch the shows you paid for, but because of the AV, your data did not come from your hotspot data. Now it does. You can toss your AV!

I assure you, what I posted is fact. There is no software glitch. Just think about it. Since IOS 16, everything using your Lightning AV works except formal movies from Netflix, Prime, Peacock, Tuli, etc. In almost every case, slow video and no sound. You will never watch any of the above again via your AV. Sorry…. It’s the world of Big Tech that we live in.

PS: I live on a boat with no internet available except via iPhone!

Welp, this ****** me off because I pay for my iPhone, I pay for my unlimited Internet, I pay for my streaming services, I pay for my lightning adapter… And now I can’t keep my kids sane in the backseat on a long car trips because the streaming apps don’t work. Wth Apple???

Apple with just come out with a new adaptor and we will have to buy it. This is crap I used the hdmi adaptor last night just fine. I did the update today and now it will not work for Hulu or Netflix’s. Always seem to find a way to take more money from us because they “fix” things. I use this at work as we can’t cast to the tv here and now I am screwed.

Thanks for the update. Netflix will not work for me. IOS 16.1.1. Weird that it works for you. This is with your phone using cellular data? I have done this for two years with no trouble, it only started a couple weeks ago when I foolishly updated to 16.1 and then 16.1.1. So frustrating.

Does anyone know...if you stream on your phone, does it use less data than if you stream on your phone and then mirror on a tv using the HDMI adapter cable? Does the streaming app somehow have to provide higher resolution going to a larger screen, and therefore more data? If so, that would explain why the cellular companies wanted this killed off...using more data on the unlimited plans by watching on a tv vs the tiny phone screen.

I gave up and was able to subscribe to broadband internet in my RV, though I really would have rather used my phone and the HDMI adaptor to stream using my Verizon unlimited data. So updating my IOS a couple months ago cost me 59.95 per month. My 50 GB of hotspot data was plenty for general internet usage every month on my laptop. But obviously not enough to network to my Apple TV box. So streaming the apps on my phone and using the HDMI adaptor was a great solution for streaming HBOmax and Netflix, etc. using unlimited device data.

Oh well. Now I know to NEVER update IOS until it's totally necessary, or at least waiting to read threads like this one that disclose issues that arise. Had I done that, I never would have updated and lost my ability to stream through my phone and display on my TV via the cable. It still seems ridiculous that Verizon is fine with me streaming as long as I watch on my phone using unlimited data, but simply watching the same stream, using the same amount of data, but mirrored to my TV, is so offensive to them.
