iOS12 can't Airplay on Apple TV3

I upgrade my iPhone to iOS12, after that, my iPhone cannot detect my Apple TV3 with its newest TVOS "AppleTV3,2_8.4.2_12H606".


Please fix it and my parent need air play the content from their iPhone to Apple TV.

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 12, Apple TV3 with latest TV OS

Hi,


I guess you have the same issue I had as well: I tried using the AppleTV icon in ControlCenter. However, this is the Apple TV remote app, which only works with Apple TV > v3.


You need to use the bigger icon called „Screen mirroring“. This will allow you streaming to your Apple TV as it was possible with iOS 11 and previous versions.

This is a user forum, you aren't addressing Apple here


The 3rd Gen doesn't run TVOS and it's last update was in 2016


An issue with airplay would come down to the network


Reboot ATV and router as well as phone

If on WiFi try ATV on Ethernet

To see a current status of the network get a report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar. Look for signal strength, noise and nearby networks

Test on another network
