For Airplay to show up on your iPhone control center, you need to have an Apple TV box connected to the same WiFi network as your iPhone.


If you have an Apple TV box that is connected to the same WiFi network as your iPhone, and Airplay does not show up on your iPhone, try turning your WiFi router off and after waiting a few minutes back on and do the same with both devices, iPhone and Apple TV. Then when you tap the control center the Airplay button should show up.


Please note that as already explained by everyone, if there is no Airplay enabled device connected to the same network as the iPhone, the Airplay button will not show up on your iPhone.


Also as already explained, Airdrop is not available for your iPhone. It requires iPhone 5 or later.
