Hey Napa21,


We'd recommend reviewing this article as it provides options for connecting your iPhone to your TV: Connect iPhone to a display with a cable - Apple Support


"

  1. Plug a Lightning Digital AV Adapter or Lightning to VGA Adapter into the charging port on the bottom of iPhone.
  2. Connect an HDMI or VGA cable to the adapter.
  3. Connect the other end of the HDMI or VGA cable to the monitor, TV, or projector.
  4. If necessary, switch to the correct video source on the monitor, TV, or projector. If you need help, use the display’s manual."


If that's not working as expected, we'd recommend testing with a different cable or adapter to see if that helps.


Thanks!
