Since upgrading to IOS 8 on 5S I have no AIRPLAY button in control center

What has caused my AIRPLAY BUTTON to vanish in the Control Center after upgrading to IOS8 on my 5S?

Only shows AIRPLAY now!

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.1.3

Hello Chipfxr,


If I understand correctly it sounds like you are not seeing your Airplay option in the Control Center, but your last sentence makes me wonder. If that is correct then use these steps from the following article to help figure out why the Airplay button is not there:


Resolve issues with AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring from iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Try these steps first

  • Verify that your iOS device's software is up to date.
  • Verify your Apple TV's software is up to date.
  • Verify that your iOS device has Wi-Fi turned on. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi on your iOS device and turn on Wi-Fi.
  • Connect all AirPlay-enabled devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
    Go to Settings > General > Network
    on your Apple TV to see which Wi-Fi network it's connected to. On your iOS device, tap Settings > Wi-Fi and confirm it's on the same network as your Apple TV.
  • With peer-to-peer AirPlay, an iOS device can stream to Apple TV without first joining the same Wi-Fi network. Find out if your iOS device can use peer-to-peer AirPlay.

If the AirPlay icon doesn't appear

Ensure that you have followed the steps in using AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring.

If you are still unable to see the AirPlay icon User uploaded file, try one of these steps:

  • If trying to AirPlay, or AirPlay mirror, to your Apple TV, ensure that AirPlay is enabled on your Apple TV as well. You can enable or disable AirPlay on Apple TV in the AirPlay menu: Settings > AirPlay.
  • Check Internet or network connectivity on all affected devices.

    Some content requires an Internet connection to authorize content playback. AirPlay capabilities may be limited if your network is not connected to the Internet.

  • If attempting to use AirPlay from a third-party app or a website from your Safari app on your iOS device, confirm that the app or website is AirPlay compatible (refer to the developers of the app or website for additional information).


If that is not correct, then can you elaborate a bit more?


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
