Screen mirroring on iPhone 16 and iPad 16 When I first bought these two months ago, they worked fine, but now the screen mirroring option does not function at all. I am on the same Wi-Fi network. My iPhone won’t find my iPad or anything else. My iPad won’t find my iPhone or anything else I’ve done updates. Nothing is working.

Why Does Iphone Mirroring Not Work If You're Connected To It By Hotspot? iPhone Mirroring has a lot of potential, however there are some issues I'm personally facing. So when I connect to your iPhone by Hotspot and then try to access it by Mirroring I get a fail Message telling me to verify if the phone is close, has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled. Does anyone face the issue, know what it could be? Is there a setting that lets you use hotspot and connect to phone at the same time?

Can't Get iPhone Mirroring to Work I'm using a MacMini running Sequoia 15.0 and an iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 18.0.1. Both are signed in to my Apple account, they are on the same wifi and near each other. My iPhone is within 2' of my MacMini. There are times I've used my iPhone as a hotspot when internet was out and the two devices were farther apart than they are now. When I upgraded my MacMini to 15.0, the iPhone Mirroring app showed up in my apps and on my dock. I do not see any app for it on my iPhone and find no settings for mirroring on my iPhone. I run the iPhone Mirroring app on my Mac and get this window: I click Continue and get this: So, as far as I know, everything is as it should be. Both are powered on and I click "Continue." What I get is a flash - almost too fast to see - where the app window changes back to the first image, the one I get when I start it, then goes back to the second image. That's it. No warnings, no indications of errors. Nothing on my iPhone at all. I've tried this with my iPhone unlocked, with it locked, but with the lockscreen showing, and with the screen off, in resting mode. None of this makes a difference. No matter what, the app window on my Mac just flickers to show the first image, then is back to the second one. It's an endless loop with no prompting about what I've done wrong or what is not working. No message like, "Can't find your iPhone," or, "Cannot access iPhone due to security settings." Nothing helpful here. How can I make this work?

That is correct. An iPhone may mirror to an Apple TV, AirPlay-compatible smart TV, or Mac.
