iPhone 15 HDMI adapter not working after iOS 26.1 update

HDMI connector doesn’t work with ios 26.1

Ever since I update my i phone 15 to iOS 26.1, the HDMI adapter accessory no longer works. In most streaming apps I have no sound or no picture or both when connected to my pc obs studio. My brother has the same phone but is still running iOS 18.5. The adapter works fine with his. It is not the cable or adapter or tv that has the issue. Is this a known problem? (It seems to be after searching the net but not seeing solutions) How can I fix it?

I connect the hdmi to capture card and then while connected force restart the i phone and still same picture come for 2 and 3 second and then gone and connection showing and after 2 3 seconds its gone and constantly this happen.

please help to resolve my issue.

iPhone 15, iOS 26

It's not always the iOS update's fault! Many things can cause phone problems. If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.

Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!

Was/Is your device Jailbroken? If that's the situation, please be informed that attributing the issues to iOS updates may not be accurate.

iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.

Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.

Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.

Search for accessories that have completed MFi certification. Once an accessory has completed MFi certification requirements and is reported to Apple as sold/distributed, it will be searchable in our public database of authorized Lightning, headset, charging, iAP-enabled, and Find My network-enabled accessories.
