Wi-Fi capabilities
You can connect your phone to TV via Wi-Fi in several ways.
- Wi-Fi Direct must be supported by both devices. On a mobile phone, you can activate it by going to the “Settings Menu” tab = “Wireless Networks and Connections”. After this, a notification about successful activation should appear. On the TV, in the “Network” tab, find and enable Wi-Fi Direct. Then we send a pairing request by clicking on the name of the mobile phone. We confirm synchronization on the smartphone and proceed to use.
- Google Chromecast is a small device that is shaped like a flash drive. The mini-computer is inserted into the HDMI connector. It does not have a wired connection to the TV; the Internet and IPTV are connected via home Wi-fi.
- Apple TV is a player that is another way to wirelessly combine a phone with a TV. It resembles a portable modem; read more about the device here.
Algorithm of actions
- We connect the mobile device, transmitter and TV to the same Wi-Fi network.
- We switch the TV to data input mode via the Apple TV network.
- We pair the gadgets, after which we calmly watch the projection of our smartphone screen on the TV monitor.
Important! With this method, it is important to take into account the compatibility of the telephone and television device; it is advisable that IOS be updated to the latest available version.
Other options
You can synchronize television equipment and a mobile phone in other ways, for example, with tulips - a composite cable that was actively used in the early 2000s. Using this wire, today you can connect your iPhone to your TV. However, you need to understand that you won’t be able to view high-resolution videos and photos.
You can connect from a smartphone to a TV using a composite cable using several types of adapters at once. Which adapter should you prefer? It's up to you to decide. Much depends on the iPhone model.
- Composite AV cable – 3 plugs (tulips) and one USB input. Suitable for iPhone 4s and older versions of smartphones from Apple.x
- A component AV cord is somewhat similar to a composite cable. The main difference is the presence of plugs for synchronizing the image and improving the quality of the broadcast image. Also suitable for iPhone 3, 4, 4s.
- VGA Lightning adapter - used to connect new models - 5, 5s. The main feature is the presence of a 15-pin analog connector for a VGA cable.
Connecting an iPhone to a TV is a simple procedure that every user can handle. It is enough to simply connect the connectors using a cable; in some situations, additional adapters are used that act as adapters. No special programs are required to connect an iPhone.
There is also no additional software configuration. You just need to open the main menu on your TV and select the signal source.
Automatic connection to WiFI network
As long as you keep WiFi turned on, your iPhone will automatically join the nearest network it knows.
If you don't need this feature, please follow the instructions below:
- Make sure you are connected to WiFi by first going to Settings > WiFi.
- Select the connection that you don't want your iPhone to automatically connect to anymore and tap its name.
- When a window with characteristics opens in front of you, move the “Auto-connect” slider to the inactive state.
If your iPhone automatically connects to unfamiliar networks, turn off “Ask to Connect” in WiFi settings to block unnecessary connections.
WiFi network lease extension
Sometimes public connections have time limits. This forces you to turn on the lease every time the time to use the access point comes to an end.
In order to renew your lease, you need:
- Make sure you are connected to WiFi by going to Settings > WiFi.
- Select the connection you want to extend. You must be connected to it.
- Double-click the “Update” button.
Screen mirroring from iPhone to TV via wireless HDMI receiver
On Aliexpress you can find many different adapters and set-top boxes that claim to support AirPlay. They are called EasyCast, MiraScreen, AnyCast, etc. You can also buy them in our online stores, you don’t have to order from China.
These are small receivers that connect to the HDMI port of the TV. We receive power from the USB port. Through such a receiver you can broadcast a picture from almost any modern mobile device or computer, and to any TV that has at least 1 HDMI input. No wires.
I specially ordered a MiraScreen adapter (the so-called TV Dongle) to check whether it can be used to display photos/videos and duplicate the screen from an iPhone directly through proprietary AirPlay technology. As soon as the adapter arrives, I will test everything and add this information to the article. Or I’ll write a separate article and leave a link to it.
What can you do to troubleshoot WiFi problems?
As a rule, malfunctions occur due to operating system updates. But sometimes other problems arise.
If you want to enable Wi-Fi on iPhone 4s, 5 and 6, but the connection is poor or there is no connection at all, try following the instructions below:
- Restart the router whose WiFi you are connected to, or try connecting to a different network;
- If this does not help, restart your smartphone;
- Try updating your operating system;
- Check your device for viruses;
- Connect to mobile internet.
If none of this helps, check your mobile internet. Its absence indicates a device failure. In this case, contact the service center.
