I updated my IPhone 13 to iOS 16.1.1 and now my lightning to HDMI adapter that I use to watch movies on my tv, from my phone, isn’t working. I do see that users have had this issue in the past, and it seems that backing up phone to the cloud, then back to factory setting, has worked for most people. Is this still the best option for this issue? Any help you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks!

Ugh, that was my fear, after all else had failed. Can’t believe they call it “pirating!” I pay for Netflix, Prime & Hulu! Very frustrating. Perhaps it’s time for me to ditch all Apple products…..🤬😤

I spoke with Apple support and was told it will no longer work. Because Netflix, Hulu, Prime etc… are third party companies they consider it a pirating tool therefore they will not allow once the 16 update has been completed.
Hello WYPTT1,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
We want to resolve the issue so you can watch movies via the adapter and your iPhone again.
Let's make sure you're using these steps to connect to your TV:
"Connect iPhone to a display with a cable
With the appropriate cable or adapter, you can connect your iPhone to a secondary display, like a computer monitor, TV, or projector.
Make sure the TV is set to the correct input as well. Test with another adapter if needed and restart all devices.
We hope this helps isolate and resolve the issue so you can connect your TV and iPhone without issue again.
Cheers!
Nope, didn’t work!!
I completely blame IOS 16.1.1
Thank you for responding. The adapter I’m using is the same adapter I have successfully used for years, for Netflix, Prime, Paramount, until I did the IOS 16.1.1 update. We get a picture, sometimes some sound, but the movies won’t play on tv. I reset my phone to factory setting and set it back up, and it still isn’t working. I have ordered a new HDMI to lightning adapter, so possibly that’s the issue. It’s not arriving until the end of the wk so I’ll follow up with you, either way. Thanks again for responding!
I have the exact same iphone 13 and have the exact same problem. I’ve changed cables and bought new HDMI adapter but no longer works. Same for my wife’s iPhone 13. My ipad still works fine with the HDMI adapters and cables.
Very frustrating! We live off grid and use the hotspot on our phone to watch movies and shows. We’ve found that we can download movies to our phone when at a place with Wi-Fi, then use the cable to watch on our tv. Hopefully the next update will fix the issue so downloading isn’t necessary. Pleeeeeease Apple, fix this bug!!!
This doesn’t work - I used my iPhone for presentations at work since I do most of my work remotely and now when I connect to a projector none of pictures show - what can I do for a work around ??
I didn’t work, did it? I pretty much did everything you did with zero luck.
