Screen Mirroring
I cannot seem to screen mirror my phone on my smart TV. The TV says : waiting for the external device to connect, when I go to screen mirroring on the control centre, it just loads and my TV doesn’t appear.
iPhone 12 mini, iOS 16

Hi nelisa1992,
If your TV isn't showing up, we'd recommend first verifying that it is AirPlay compatible. If it is, try all of the steps outlined here in this article: If screen mirroring or streaming isn't working on your AirPlay-compatible device - Apple Support
"Try these steps first
After each step, see if you still need help.
If you're prompted to enter a password, you might have restrictions turned on, or you might need to adjust your AirPlay password settings."
Depending on your TV manufacturer, you may need to enable AirPlay on it before it can be used. So you may also need to reach out to them for further instruction.
Cheers.
