Apple’s own apps do not support Chromecast, Miracast, or other third party casting protocols.

Streaming from one device to another for Apple services requires AirPlay capability, Apple’s own local streaming protocol. This requires that both sending device and receiving device support this protocol.


Select modern smart TVs have this feature built-in (with an on|off switch in Settings). List of AirPlay-enabled smart TVs and third party streaming devices - Apple.

Other TVs can get this capability by connecting an Apple TV box or Roku.

AirPlay system requirements - Apple Support.


Use AirPlay to stream video or mirror the screen of your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support.
