AirPlay is a fantastic feature for wirelessly streaming audio and video, as well as mirroring your Apple device’s screen. However, unlike other smart devices and consoles, the PS5 does not natively support AirPlay. Fortunately, you can still perform screen mirroring on your PS5 console using some third-party apps. This guide provides instructions for screen mirroring all Apple devices to a PS5 console.
Steps to Screen Mirror a Apple Device to PS5
Since the PS5 console lacks AirPlay support, you must use third-party screen mirroring apps to view media files. Depending on your convenience, you can use your iPhone or Mac to screen mirror media files to your PS5.
From iPhone, iPad, or Mac
1. Connect your PS5 console and iPhone, iPad, or Mac to the same WiFi network.
2. Bring up the Game Base menu, go to the Friends tab, and choose a friend you want to message.
3. Select the Messages option after clicking your friend’s profile.
4. Tap Send a Quick Message, type (screenmirroring.app/receiver), and send it to your friend.
5. Click on the sent URL to visit the screen mirroring receiver webpage. It will show the QR code along with the 6-digit code.
6. Install the Screen Mirroring+ app from the App Store on your iPhone. For Mac, you can access the web version of the Screen Mirroring+ portal.
7. Depending on the device you use, follow the respective screen mirroring steps.
- Run the Screen Mirroring+ app on your Apple device (iPhone/iPad) and scan the QR code on your PS5 console.

8. After entering the code, click the Connect option to initiate wireless mirroring. You can now view the screen of your Apple device on your PS5 console.
