Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why can’t I AirPlay my iPhone to my Macbook?
Check that all of your AirPlay-compatible devices are turned on and close to one another. Ensure that all the devices use the same Wi-Fi network and that their software is current. You’ll need to restart any devices you plan to use with AirPlay or screen mirroring before you can get started.
Is screen mirroring the same as AirPlay?
AirPlay is a screen mirroring system developed by Apple that enables all Apple devices to wirelessly share media files such as videos, images, and music with other devices such as televisions and other electronic gadgets. This built-in feature is available on iOS devices with version 4.2 or on the most recent devices to be released.
Why is AirDrop not working?
If you have already turned on both of your iPhones’ Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities, but AirDrop is still not working, try refreshing both devices. On both devices, turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, wait a few seconds, and then turn them back on again. That is all that is required of you. We can only hope that this will rectify the situation.
Is AirPlay only for iPhones?
Streaming media is made possible between Apple devices and other smart devices thanks to AirPlay. You can use AirPlay to stream content from an iPhone, iPad, or Mac to an Apple TV or other smart TVs and speakers that are compatible with AirPlay. Both devices need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network or within Bluetooth range for AirPlay to function properly.
