airplay mirroring only looks for apple tv

Since the iOS 10 update on both iPhone and iPad, it seems I cannot locate my AirPort Express for streaming music to my stereo. When I click AirPlay Mirroring it only looks for AppleTV, and never finds my Express. Anyone else have a similar issue? Is there another setting I'm missing?

When I'm in the Spotify app, there is a Devices button, and that app can find the Express (on iOS 10), but my SiriusXM app doesn't have that same functionality.

Thanks!

iPhone 6, iOS 10.0.2

AirPlay Mirroring and AirPlay Streaming are two different things. With iOS 10, AirPlay Mirroring is accessed via the Control Panel. AirPlay Streaming was integrated into the Music app.

Apple does provide a free user guide to help users familiarize themselves with the features of the new iOS version.

I just realized when you bring up the control panel, you have to swipe to the right to bring up the music controls. So the functionality is still the same they just moved it.
