Mirror iPhone to Fire TV using AirPlay

Hi everyone! I wanted to view my vacation photos on a big screen, so I tried to mirror my iPhone to my Fire TV with AirPlay. For some reason, it didn't work, even though both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Any suggestions?

Your Fire TV likely doesn't support AirPlay, which is why it isn't showing up in your list of devices. You can connect using an HDMI or VGA cable, depending on your iPhone model.

If you prefer a wireless connection, you can download special mirroring apps for Fire TV, for example https://apps.apple.com/us/app/screen-mirror-smart-tv-docast/id6446948344

Simply install the app on your phone, connect to the TV via Wi-Fi, and start mirroring.
