Lightning to HDMI no longer working with IOS16 update

I updated to iOS 16.3 to my iPhone SE 2022 and everything is working now! This includes

Netflix

amazon prime

SkyShowtime

HBO max

Disney+

all works on the recent iOS 16.3 update on a iPhone SE 2022

Definitely is/was a problem on Apple's end. Just updated to iOS 16.3 and Prime Video now works with my HDMI adapter. I did a hard restart of my iphone 12 mini after installing the latest update, then crossed my fingers, then plugged in the adapter, then started the movie and I'm back in business. Good luck to everyone else that may still be dealing with issues, frustrating to say the least.

Plug in the adapter. You should see a message stating that firmware needs to be installed before the accessory can be used. Wait a few minutes. Cycle power on the phone. Connect the cable again and sharing of the iPhone and basic apps should work. Then try your streaming apps. I just did this and Xfinity, Netflix, HBO Max, etc. are all working as expected.

Plugging in my adapter turns on the Do Not Disturb function. When in that state the sound will not work. If I switch it back to Focus mode the video will play with sound. iPhone 12.

it would better if plugging in the HDMI adapter did not turn on the Do Not Disturb mode. Unplugging it does not switch it back so I miss notifications.

It was on and iPhone and it’s resetting network settings. Apparently, that’s where the device also stores drivers for other connected devices and if they become corrupted like what appears to happen so often with the lightning to hdmi adaptor you need to do that so that it can reinstall the drivers. It’s Apple. Nothing can be straight forward or transparent. To make it even more confusing, you have to go to the screen where you reset the entire device and click on that before it will give you the different reset options which is scary. Just go to settings and then in the search box type reset network. You have two options on that screen. Tap reset. On the next screen tap reset network settings. Your going to lose any saved WiFi networks and devices like printers when you do that so make sure you know your credentials beforehand so you can reconnect.

Go to faceID/passcode and allow accessories to connect while locked and it will work fine. I ran across this from some godsent gentlemen as I was at the end of my rope. I purchased a new AV/HDMI accessory and it didn’t help. This did. I believe sometimes after updates it resets this. Anyway again

Settings*Touch ID&Passcode*Allow Access When Locked*accessories need to be switched ON

hope you find this and it’s works for you. Thanks again to the guy who post this somewhere else where I found it ✌️

So I tried the lightning to HDMI adapter this morning with the same bad results. The TV seems to detect something, but there was no display. I decided to try plugging in the power lightning connection and it now works fine. Just needed some additional power to drive my 4K TV. My older phones never needed additional power but the iPhone 14 Pro MAX seems to. I don't know if this will help others, but it now works fine on a few TVs I tried it on. My iPhone has iOS 17.0.3. Good luck!

I had this happen.

I solved it by connecting to WIFI and re-attaching the adapter.

Wait a few minutes and iOS will automatically download an HDMI driver update.

I don't recall needing to restart my iPad.

Yes, I am experiencing the same problem. I called Apple support and they said they knew nothing about it and it’s probably a Samsung problem. So I called Samsung and they demonstrated that it is related exclusively to the 16.0 upgrade. I called Netflix support and they verified that Apple‘s upgrade has impaired and stopped the compatibility with the Apple lightning and TV. This is an Apple update issue. I asked if we could downgrade our software back to the prior version and they said no. Netflix may be able to do a software compatibility update at a future date I am dependent upon 5G T Mobile for my Wi-Fi, since I live in a rural fourth pas Pennsylvania area. So no Netflix or prime on my TV for now. It is an apple issue. Make no mistake about that.

Thank you Apple!

amazone prime works! Before stutter and no audio. It got fixed works 100%

netflix works 100% before black screen nothing worked

disney+ stil working and did before

hbo max and SkyShowtime works!

every streaming service works!

since iOS 16.2 to iOS 16.3 update!

very happy 😃 but I have to say I will be very careful with the next iOS update. Who knows what it wil break in the future?

I have no internet connection at home and I do everything with my phone with unlimited data contract.

I use my hdmi to lightning connector everyday to stream content with my apps

Initially updated to 16.3 with iPhone 12 Pro Max, the hdmi adaptor wouldn’t work. Had to pay for 2TB iCloud, backup my phone to iCloud, waited 3 days to back up 190gb. Reset my phone, and then finally worked. Got the prompt that the accessory updated firmware before working. What an incredible waste of time just to get an oem accessory to work. Thanks apple!

Turned off “Smart Activation” of Do not Disturb. Now plugging in the HDMI adapter does not put it in that state and streaming works. I can see how when making a presentation this is a good thing and apple set this as the default behavior.

I had problems watching movies from my IPhone 12. I never had problems before with my older Apple phone. I had bought a newer but not expensive HDMI cable. When I would plug it in to my phone to Cast say for example Netflix it wouldn’t work. I called Apple they were trying to assist me. When I thought about the HDMI cable I bought. When I plugged it in it always said it wouldn’t work until the firmware was done updating. I could never find any firmware anywhere. I decided to try another HDMI cable that came with my DVD player and to my amazement I seen my phones screen on the TV. The quality or something with the HDMI made a difference not sure why. Try a different HDMI cable maybe a slightly better quality.

My experience with this adapter “Apple MD826 / MD826ZMA Lightning to HDMI Adaptor” is that it works for all streaming except ESPN, granted i do not use Netflix, but i do use Youtube TV, Youtube, Prime Video, Willow, Flosports….etc. lately it was not working but I discovered if I pulled the power cord from the adapter, then connected it to the phone, and afterwards connected the lightning power cable, everything works absolutely fine.
