Works on most models of these TVs. Your TV and your iPhone or iPad just need to be on the same Wi‑Fi. Some streaming sticks can’t receive casts.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Which TVs can show my photos and videos?

Photos and videos play on most Samsung, LG, Sony, Hisense, TCL and Vizio TVs. Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV and Xumo TVs play videos with AirPlay — to show photos on them, mirror your screen instead. Some TVs ask you to allow casting in their settings first, and some streaming sticks can’t receive casts.

How do I mirror my screen?

Open the Casting tab, tap Mirror your screen, then Start mirroring and pick your TV in the AirPlay list. Mirroring needs an Apple TV or a smart TV with AirPlay built in, on the same Wi‑Fi as your device.

Do I need to install anything on my TV?

No. TV Cast uses the casting features already built into most smart TVs, so there’s nothing to install on the TV and no cable to plug in.

Can TV Cast see my photo library?

No. You choose photos and videos in Apple’s photo picker, and iOS gives TV Cast only the items you pick. They go from your device to your TV over your Wi‑Fi — not to us.

Why does it ask for Local Network access?

That’s how TV Cast finds your TV, casts to it and sends it commands over your Wi‑Fi. Without it, the app can’t see your TV. You can turn it on or off anytime in iOS Settings ▸ TV Cast.

Will it work away from home?

No. TV Cast works over your Wi‑Fi, so your iPhone or iPad has to be on the same Wi‑Fi network as the TV — it won’t work over mobile data or from another house. It doesn’t use infrared, so it works on any iPhone or iPad.

How do I cancel a subscription or free trial?

On your iPhone or iPad, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions. Choose TV Cast and tap Cancel Subscription. To avoid being charged, cancel at least 24 hours before the trial or current period ends. Deleting the app doesn’t cancel a subscription.

Does TV Cast collect my data?

There’s no account and no ads. The TVs you pair with are saved on your device, and the photos and videos you cast go only to your TV. The app collects usage and crash data and purchase records to run and improve the app — the Privacy Policy has the details.
