Lightning to HDMI no longer working with IOS16 update

wel That sucks! Everything is working again! On a iPhone SE 2022!

all streaming apps working with the new iOS 16.3

After update to 16.3 streaming via HDMI from Prime Video, Apple TV+, Disney+ are working very well for me on the iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 11 and iPad Pro 12inch (1st gen).

Try turning your phone off for 5 minutes. I had to restart mine 3x . Are you positive your HDMI pigtail is functioning properly. Good luck .

I have a similar problem...with most of my streaming apps. Using the lightning to HDMI adaptor works fine for screen mirroring, such as using google, or photos, static content, but not for video. I've read recently that there are quite a few people with similar issues. Most of my streaming apps play, but are choppy, and have no audio. It seems this happened after I upgraded to an iPhone 14, and ios16. Everything worked great previously, iPhone 11, ios15.7. Help?

I took a day off work to drive an hour and a half to the nearest Apple Store, spent hours working with a few employees, and left with no solution as to why iOS 16 no longer works with the Apple Lightning AV adapter while using it with certain streaming apps. Not to mention I’ve spent hours on the phone with apple phone support, apple chat, and wasted time driving to an Apple-certified Best Buy that didn’t even connect my phone to the Lightning AV adaptor to see that it no longer works. I’ve had an iPhone since 2009, but this is my last apple product after this experience.

Not helpful at all. The update to IOS 16 is not compatible with the AV digital lightning plug. We full time RV and do not have WiFi. We depend on the AV plug adapter. We even bought a new one. My wife just purchased the new 14, she had s 6 which worked great. Our iPad worked great until we updated to the 16. Now nothing works. You all need to fix this and quick passing the buck to the other streaming platforms.

Frustrated IPhone user for 10+ years

Holy THANK YOU for that comment. I live remote and have spent many hours and money trying to figure out what is wrong with my phone and/or device and Apple keeps blowing it off with aloof canned suggestions and responses that are totally not helpful but incredibly time taxing.

I have only know an Apple iPhone and an android sounds my only alternative.

This is ridiculous advice. Both my adaptors worked perfectly with the equipment I have until I updated to IOS 16 and now neither works! Also tried them on 2 tv's so it is not anything that I can do to fix it. This is a major bug that apple needs to fix.

We are also having the same problems. This is a software issue on Apple's end. Please find a solution to correct the problem. It has been working correctly for years and only became a problem after the software update in November.

That isn’t the case, the lightning works only with Disney plus… all other apps don’t work after using the “update” Apple screwed up with this iOS 16 and must only have some deal with Disney, the fact it only works for Disney plus and no other says there is issues with Apple and they must fix this as we all pay for these apps and now can’t watch them anymore with iOS 16 update

It’s absolutely the iOS 16 that caused the issue, they are not holding any accountability to their mistakes on the update. Apple phones are becoming terrible devices in comparison to google ect. Phones with these pointless updates that ruin our streaming services

Not working after iOS 16 is bull. Number one, that wouldn’t affect screen mirroring outside of video apps. Number 2. My adaptor works fine on my wife’s phone but not mine. Including streaming video from every app I’ve tried. That’s on iOS 16.5.1(c) on both phones. The only thing I can see different between our phones is on the settings/general/about screen right under carrier lock on my wife’s phone it shows Apple digital AV adaptor with and arrow to its firmware but on my phone it doesn’t. a little device connected icon also shows up for a short time in the dynamic island. It’s obvious that something is happening to the firmware and I’m guessing like all things Apple it isn’t going to be fixed without a full reset.

I mean bull that Apple Support is telling people that the issue is a DRM issue when in fact most people are having a problem getting it to connect at all and even get mirroring if the Home Screen to work before they even get into trying to stream video. When you updated it and it apparently resolved that issue for you which that’s great but the vast majority of people aren’t even getting that relief. Nor is wiping the device and starting from scratch working for many people. Seeing as how I’ve got the same update as you and it didn’t resolve it for me would suggest the version of iOS is probably not important. I talked to Apple support today after I wrote my response and she thinks that I may have a bad lightening port so they want to look at it. Apparently there have been problems on the 14 and the 14 Pro Max with lightning port issues and that would track considering my phone isn’t recognizing the adaptor at all. To get anyone at Apple to even tell me that required two levels of escalation before someone there even understood the complaint. That’s kinda troubling to me and definitely falls under the definition of bull, especially considering the 11 pages of results on a Google search going all the way back to 2018 complaining about the same issue.

bought iPhone 15 yesterday. USB-C to HDMI works fine to send images and data to a TV from PowerPoint, but when I try using my iPad Pro with the HDMI to lightening adapter the TV doesn't even recognize there is a device connected. iPad Pro was working fine until I updated to the latest iOS. Tested a known working HDMI-lightening adapter and got the same . . . nada. Tested the USB-C to HDMI adapter and it works fine using the same HDMI cord. So . . . HDMI cable is fine. Adapters are fine. iOS is not fine. What I don't understand is why the latest iOS works on the phone but not on iPad. It was very inconveneient as I had a group presentation this morning at 6am, only to find out my presentation slides would not show on the TV. My fault for updating and not testing (or updating before a presentation). For Apple, who has a reputation of 'it just works,' I, along with many others, are getting frustrated. The 'helpful' suggestions coming from Apple are anything but. Are these software roll outs not vetted prior to release? Looking forward to some kind of resolution. Meanwhile, just frustrated. Oh . . . next presentation is in two days. Open to solutions.
