Apple TV not visible on AirPlay

For some reason, I am now no longer able to stream from my IOS devices onto my Apple TV. The option to select the Apple TV has disappeared from the AirPlay selection list. I have tried all listed steps and even tried restoring my Apple TV. They are all up to date, turned on, connected on the same network. It used to work beforR

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.


  1. Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
  2. Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
  3. Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
  4. Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
  5. Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
  6. Restart your mobile device.
