AirPlay is compatible with many streaming devices but has not yet been available for Firestick. However, this doesn’t mean you can’t stream videos wirelessly on Firestick. Instead of AirPlay, you can use third-party screen mirroring apps on your Firestick to bridge this gap, which offers similar functionality. This guide demonstrates the process of mirroring an iPhone screen to a Firestick using three different apps.
Steps to Mirror iPhone to Firestick
Depending on your convenience, use one of the apps to connect your iPhone to a Firestick.
Using AirScreen
1. Connect your Firestick and iPhone/iPad to the same WiFi network.
2. Get AirScreen on your Firestick by visiting the built-in App Store.
3. Launch the AirScreen app on your Firestick and keep it running.
4. Use the Fire TV remote to navigate the app prompts until you reach the Get Started screen. Once you land on that page, a QR code will appear.
5. Scan the QR code with your iPhone or iPad’s camera. Once a link appears, click it to open it.
6. Swipe the screen up or down to access your iPhone’s Control Center. Then, select Screen Mirroring from the list to scan for nearby devices.
7. Select your Firestick (name of the AirScreen ID) to mirror your iPhone to the TV screen.
Using DoCast
The free version of DoCast offers only 15 minutes of screen mirroring. For unlimited access, you must subscribe to DoCast Premium ($19.99) through in-app purchases.
1. Visit the App Store and install the DoCast application on your iPhone.
2. Check if your iPhone and Firestick are paired to the same wireless network.
3. Run the DoCast app on your iPhone. The app will begin searching for devices. Once it detects your Firestick, select it.
4. Click the Screen option to begin wireless mirroring.
5. From the customization options, you can modify screen resolution and auto-rotation.
6. After setting it up, click the Red button and tap Start Broadcast.
Using TV Cast & Screen Mirroring App
The TV Cast & Screen Mirroring App is free to use with ads for a certain duration. For unlimited access, you can purchase a lifetime license for a one-time fee of $24.99.
1. Go to the App Store on your iPhone and install the TV Cast & Screen Mirroring App.
2. Ensure your Firestick is connected to an identical WiFi as your iPhone.
3. Open the TV Cast & Screen Mirroring App and choose your Firestick to connect.
