To screen mirror on iPhone 14, use the built-in AirPlay feature to wirelessly display your screen on an Apple TV, Mac, or AirPlay-compatible smart TV. Open Control Center by swiping down from the upper-right corner, tap Screen Mirroring, select your target device, and enter the passcode if prompted.
How to screen mirror on iPhone 14 with AirPlay
Screen mirroring on iPhone 14 requires both devices to be on the same Wi‑Fi network. Follow these steps:
- Connect your iPhone 14 and the target device (Apple TV, Mac, or AirPlay-compatible smart TV) to the same Wi‑Fi network.
- Open Control Center by swiping down from the upper-right corner of the screen.
- Tap Screen Mirroring.
- Select the TV or Mac from the list of available devices.
- If a passcode appears on the TV or Mac, enter it on your iPhone 14.
Once connected, your iPhone 14 screen will appear on the larger display. Screen mirroring can also be done using a Lightning to HDMI adapter to connect directly to a TV or monitor without Wi-Fi. Some smart TVs and streaming devices have built-in screen mirroring capabilities that can be used with an iPhone 14. Third-party apps like Reflector, AirServer, and ApowerMirror can provide additional features, cross-platform compatibility, or mirroring to computers. When using third-party apps, choose reputable ones, read user reviews, check for security concerns, and be aware some may require a subscription fee for full features.

Troubleshooting iPhone 14 screen mirroring problems
If screen mirroring fails, Apple documents these fixes:
- Confirm all AirPlay-compatible devices are turned on and near each other.
- Ensure all devices are updated to the latest software and connected to the same Wi‑Fi network.
- On iPhone 14, go to Settings > General > AirPlay & Continuity and allow AirPlay receiving.
- Restart the devices you want to use with AirPlay or screen mirroring.
- If streaming to a device set up in the Home app, check Home Settings for AirPlay restrictions.
- If an Apple TV asks for a password, check Apple TV content restrictions or AirPlay password settings.
- Disable VPN and firewall temporarily, as they can interfere with screen mirroring.
- Close background apps on iPhone 14, as too many can impact screen mirroring performance.
- Reset network settings via Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings if other troubleshooting fails (note: this removes saved Wi-Fi networks).
