Q: Unable to see Airplay button

I have iPad 2 and just updated to iOS 7.2. Earlier I could get the AirPlay button when home button is pressed twice quickly. I can't get the same after the update to iOS 7.2 now.

 

How do I fix it. Any help would be appreciated.

iPad 2, iOS 7.0.2

    I am having the same problem.  When I use the Control Panel to turn on wifi in preparation for watching a podcast on my AppleTV, wifi comes on, but the Airplay button does not appear.  Sometimes it does, sometimes it does not.   Sometimes rebooting my phone will make the Airplay button show up, sometimes it doesn't.   Sometimes after 45 seconds or so of playback via Airplay the connection is lost, the Airplay button disappears  and the Airplay will not come back unless my phone is rebooted.  I can't play anything to my iMac via Airplay at all, unless I'm using the AirServer application.   This is REALLY annoying.  Airplay worked perfectly under iOS 6 and it has been a complete pain with iOS 7.  I have an iPhone 5S running iOS 7.2.
