Lightning to HDMI no longer working with IOS16 update

Resetting network connections WORKS!! We just added a 4 season porch to our home, intentionally without TV. But it is the right place for the gang to watch the Packers-Bears game today, and now I can use my iPad rather than my phone to put the game on the old not-so-smart Samsung.

1.General => Reset => Reset All Settings

it can be used

Lightning to HDMI

Also iPhone 12 Pro 16.5.1

In Settings, go to Face ID & Passcode or Touch ID & Passcode, and turn on scroll to bottom

Accessories under Allow Access When Locked.

Did you try resetting network settings? Worked for me with iPhone 11 even after iOS upgrade to 17.2.1

This worked for me. I did the network reset and the hdmi adapter worked like before!

Best.

Adding to the list of frustrated iPhone users experiencing this exact issue. I bought the adapter as a Christmas gift and wanted to test first on my iPhone with IOS16. Video from Netflix, Prime and DirecTV stuttered and had no sound when trying on multiple TVs. I figure the adapter was broken and was going to return but found this post first. I pulled out an older iPhone with IOS14 and everything worked fine. Not a good look having such a widely used product (and not cheap) break with a software update. Hope a patch is coming soon!

I posted earlier that I was having this issue on several streaming apps.

In response to the poster that just mentioned Apple providing a list of apps that still work…

In all likelihood they are waiting and reading these posts and others in other forums to figure out which ones people say are still working so they can disable them as well.

Also… I’ve noticed a few other things about this issue that MIGHT help the developers of apps, or Apple… solve this massive problem…

A few minutes after I installed the IOS 16 update, I noticed a message popped up on my phone’s screen that said something like “accessory connection…digital a/v adapter…this accessory may not be available until the firmware is downloaded for this accessory/device”

The other thing I’ve noticed is that in some streaming apps that offer “live tv” and on demand shows/movies… some channels don’t work..and some do…. Same with on demand stuff in the same app…some work some just flip back and forth between the phone display and the tv…some shows play with low throughput..stuttering…with no volume.

I think the issue is with the screen resolution of the source video not playing nice with the hdmi “handshake” process. I believe its related to the origin video’s resolution because i have some streaming apps that are displayed smaller than my tv screen on my tv and I use the “zoom” picture setting on my tv to fix those…and those apps that I need to zoom the screen on still work flawlessly!

Seriously though…hopefully someone with a big social media following takes up our cause and convinces Apple to fix this….one way or another.

Or someone could go to their local news station and ask them for some help getting the ball rolling. Apple clearly isn’t listening to anyone in here.

I found the fix.

go to settings, then display and brightness, then click on arrangement in the displays section. It should pop up a box that shows the arrangement between your iPad and your external display. Then click the button or slide the little lever thing over it says mirror display.

When I am on Hulu and play a video, it shows full screen on my TV. I have not tried any other things like Netflix or Amazon video.

Maybe try rebooting your phone. That works for lots of other things. You can also try using your other hdmi port. One thing I did before update with old phone was get it going on your phone and then plug in the adapter.

AppleCursed ~ An iPhone battery is steadily changing to a reduced capacity. And the long process of applying an iOS update to an iPhone with a weak, aging battery can be the proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back." So...

What model iPhone do you have?

And does it still have its original battery?

Also, what's the Maximum Capacity % here?...

i have a iPad Pro 11.

My HDMI adapter cable no longer works since upgrading to IOS 16.2+

IT also refuses to work with the latest 16.3.1 versions.

The HDMI cable DOES work on my iPad mini, using IOS16.2

i think this proves IOS 16.3.x has a bug preventing the proper operation of the HDMI adapter cable.

will apple please get this fixed.

I’m having the same issue since the update I have been unable to stream anything at all I just get a black screen. Have have tried all the different suggestions a different hdmi cable different tv’s even my other av to hdmi apple adapter I turned my devices off and on and even done a reset and it’s still not working the issue is definitely the iOS update as everything was working before that update

Yes you are correct on that. Apple does not read their own forums and that explains exactly why they have such big bug issues so regularly now. Its quite foolish to ignore such a customer data base. With a trillion dollars they could simply hire a high school student to spend the hour it takes to experience and deduce this particular set of bugs very easy.

I have submitted many requests to fix this Apple lightning adapter bug as im sure millions of others also have. Apple broke it in release of IOS 16 and even the latest 16.7.2 remains broke. Over a year later this remains still half broken ( only streaming works) and Apple silent while their lightening adapter products are not providing the services we already paid for.

Apple simply needs to make dowloaded content playable via lightening connector again. It worked for a decade until IOS 16. Apple has only fixed streaming so far and that sucks for all.

I am having the same problem. I contacted Apple support and got no where. They blame the tv. Everything was working great till I undated my IPhone 11 to ios 17.2 . I went back to the store and they replaced the old connector with a brand new one. Still disappointing, Even trying it on a brand new tv at the store and it still doesn’t work. Definitely a problem with the lighting to digital av adapter.
