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?

It is working just fine for the majority. It would be something within your setup causing the issue. You are free to take it to Apple for testing.

Had the same issue. Had to reset the network settings on the iPhone and rejoin the wireless network.

Settings>general>Reset>reset network settings.

airplay worked again after that.
