Here is a quick guide on how to cast iPhone on Firestick. Casting your iPhone on a Firestick allows you to display your iPhone’s content on your TV easily. The aim is to watch the content on a bigger screen.
Casting or mirroring your iPhone screen is handy when you want to enjoy a TV series or movie with your family. Using one small iPhone multiple people cannot watch the content. So, there arises a need for viewing it on a bigger screen which you can achieve using screen mirroring. But Apple doesn’t support mirroring iPhone on Firestick. You need to install third-party Apps like Airscreen, AirbeamTV, and more to mirror the screen on the big screen. In this article, we use Airscreen to cast or mirror the iPhone screen on Amazon Firestick.
