You’ve probably seen people using their iPhones to play games on a big screen TV before. But how do they do it? It’s actually pretty simple: they’re using a technology called miracast.

Miracast is a wireless standard that allows you to mirror your iPhone’s display on a compatible TV or projector. That means you can play games, watch videos, or view photos on a bigger screen without having to worry about cables.

To use miracast, you’ll need a few things:

– A compatible iPhone. Miracast is available on the iPhone 5, 5c, 5s, 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus, SE, 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus, X, XS, XS Max, and XR.

– A compatible TV or projector. Most TVs and projectors that were released in the last few years should be compatible with Miracast.

– A Miracast-compatible receiver. This is a small device that plugs into your TV or projector and allows it to receive the signal from your iPhone.

Once you have all of those things, you’re ready to start using Miracast. Just follow these steps:

1. Make sure your iPhone and Miracast receiver are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

2. On your iPhone, open the Control Center.

3. Tap the “Screen Mirroring” button.

4. Select your Miracast receiver from the list of devices.

5. Your iPhone’s display will now be mirrored on your TV or projector.

You can now start playing games, watching videos, or viewing photos on a bigger screen. When you’re done, just tap the “Screen Mirroring” button in the Control Center and select “Stop Mirroring” to disconnect.

If you’ve ever wanted to play your favorite iPhone games on the big screen, there’s good news: you can, thanks to a technology called miracast. Miracast is a wireless standard that allows you to mirror your iPhone’s display on a compatible TV or projector. That means you can play games, watch videos, and view photos from your iPhone on a bigger screen.

Here’s how to set up and use miracast to play iPhone games on your TV.

1. Make sure your iPhone and TV are compatible

First things first: you’ll need to make sure that your iPhone and TV are both compatible with miracast. Most newer iPhones (including the iPhone 6s, 6s Plus, 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus, and X) support miracast, as do most newer TVs. To check if your TV supports miracast, consult your TV’s documentation or do a quick Google search.

2. Connect your iPhone and TV

Once you’ve confirmed that both your iPhone and TV support miracast, it’s time to connect the two devices. Begin by turning on your TV and selecting the input that you want to use (e.g., HDMI 1). Then, open the Control Center on your iPhone by swiping up from the bottom of the screen. Tap the “Screen Mirroring” button and select your TV from the list of available devices.

3. Start playing games on your TV

Once your iPhone is connected to your TV, you’ll be able to play games, watch videos, and view photos on the big screen. To do so, simply open the app that you want to use and it will automatically appear on your TV. When you’re finished, tap the “Screen Mirroring” button in the Control Center and select “Stop Mirroring” to disconnect your iPhone from your TV.

Playing iPhone games on your TV is a great way to get a bigger-screen experience without having to buy a dedicated gaming console. And thanks to miracast, it’s easy to set up and use. So give it a try the next time you want to game on your TV.
