wifi direct from iphone to LG smart TV

I have a new 4k LG smart tv and its been driving me crazy trying to figure this out and the smart share/share content feature of the of lg tv. I haven't been able to find apps or anything other than apps that work with Android. As for iphone, i cant find anything.....which is weird as how many iphones are being sold. You'd think lg would have this thought out.??!? Hope we can find an answer, as LG customer service is about as good as talking to a rock. Dead rock be it.

It's a simple concept...either the TV supports Airplay or it doesn't. If the latter, then it won't work.

I guess, it does not support Airplay....but I had hoped/thought there would be another way. Bummer I guess.

You could buy and use an Apple TV

Have ATV. Just trying to find a way I don't have to use it as this tv's option/smart share is available and does not mention the "need" of an ATV to user it. It's cool.... Thanks for Thoughts.

I just got an OLED LG TV. I was hoping we could connect our Iphone 7 plus to it, but nope. I wanted this for the 4K videos i'm shooting with my phone, but even with Apple TV connected to the LG would it work as 4K quality playing from my phone to the TV since Apple doesn't make an ATV 4K box yet?

I have the same issue here and about to research it for boyh my phone & Windows 10 PC. Your. best bet would be to write down the model number and serial number of your LG TV and ho to the LG website and look through the Support section to see if your question is anawered there; Othrrwise contact their Tech Support department bia the site and I'm sure you'll have an answer within 24-hours! If I find out in the meantime I'll post it here.

When i searched youtube, someone suggested TV CAST app on your phone and TV. In app purchase on the phone was 99 cents to use the picture and video feature. It works good. That's what i have as a solution so far.

You can download the lg webios app on your phone and then view photos on the tv

StreamBeam worked for me. Thanks for your suggestion.

Wow, a little defensive maybe?

Thanks for the feedback link.

It is still a bug.

Hamiiiiiid

It's a simple security issue really. The fact that iPhones can't do a lot of the things androids do is to cut down on the chances of your iPhone receiving a virus or malware.

Actually that has zero to do with security and more to do with vendor lock-in and unwillingness to provide features.

I'll figure it out eventually.
