AirPlay not working since iOS 12 update

On two different iPhone devices in my home, an 8 on iOS 11 and a X on iOS 12, AirPlay is NOT working. The Apple TV is the newest generation with current TV OS 12. Pleas advise. This seems like a major bug. AirPlay only worked while in mirroring but did not work in any other capacity: YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify, Google Drive, etc.

Airplay only works when watching a video - Apple TV 3rd Gen Hello, I purchased a used Apple TV 3rd Gen a while back for my LG TV and it works great on my iPhone 7, 8 and 6+. Any newer iPhone can't connect to Airplay unless a video or song is playing which I find very frustrating. What can be done settings wise? I plan on upgrading my iPhone soon and don't want to lose the basic function of airplay (beyond just streaming video, audio). This removes my ability to scroll through sites/apps and limits me to video and audio. I tested this on several new iPhones and mine always works flawlessly while the new ones don't. Is this a design to promote the newer Apple TV or is there a way to fix it?

You know what the problem is? If it isn’t popular issue apple treats to you like an idiot. At the end they will say “restore your device”. Airplay and many other options are “ready” to work. It means that in fact you can’t do anything. You can reset iPhone or Apple TV but that’s it. Unless it’s bug and something strange helps but if it’s bug usually other users can help instead of apple support. I scheduled phone call on Tuesday but I have no hope they will help me this time.

hi!

After a reboot of my Apple TV, it’s now working. All my devices are on last version of iOS 12.

Good luck!
