Cast to Firestick from iPhone in One Tap
No Fire TV Stick has AirPlay, and among Fire TV smart TVs, such as the 2021 Omni Series, only some models do. Screen Mirroring · Smart TV, an iPhone app for iOS 15.0 or later, supports Fire TV. You pick your Fire TV from the list once, the app remembers it, and after that it is one tap.
4.61Fire TV mirroring with the app
Screen Mirroring · Smart TV mirrors your iPhone screen to the TV in real time. It supports Fire TV along with Roku, Chromecast, Samsung, LG and other major smart TVs, and it needs no additional hardware or software.
Once you're connected, what you open on the iPhone shows up on the Fire TV: videos, photos, games and apps on a larger screen, with high-quality streaming and minimal lag.
Getting started is simple. The first time, it takes three steps:
- Connect your iPhone and your Fire TV to the same Wi-Fi network.
- Select your Fire TV from the list of available devices.
- Start screen mirroring and enjoy your content on the big screen.
What you need before you start
Before the first connection, check these three things:
- An iPhone or iPad on iOS 15.0 or later.
- No VPN or proxy running on the iPhone while you connect. The app works best with both turned off.
- The app on your iPhone. Free download on the App Store, with the subscription billed by Apple inside the app. It comes from AQUIN VENTURES LTD and has been on the App Store since November 2023.
How to AirPlay to Firestick
AirPlay is Apple's way to stream video or mirror the iPhone screen, and it needs a receiver on the TV side: an Apple TV 4K or a smart TV with AirPlay 2. No Fire TV Stick has one, in any generation, so on a stick AirPlay from the iPhone has nothing to connect to.
Fire TV smart TVs are a different case. Some models have AirPlay, and on those, the iPhone's own Screen Mirroring in Control Center can reach the TV when the iPhone and the TV share a Wi-Fi network.
Amazon's own screen mirroring doesn't help an iPhone either, and Amazon points Fire TV smart TV owners to AirPlay instead. Here is how the three options compare on Fire TV:
Screen Mirroring · Smart TVWhich Fire TV devices have AirPlay
It depends on the device. Sticks and smart TVs follow different rules, and Toshiba, Insignia and Panasonic build Fire TV into some of their own TVs.
On a Fire TV smart TV that has AirPlay, the setting is AirPlay & HomeKit under Display & Sounds. Here is what Amazon and the TV makers say about each kind of Fire TV:
| Fire TV device | AirPlay | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Fire TV Stick, Stick 4K, 4K Max, Lite and HD, all generations | No | No AirPlay receiver on any generation of the stick. |
| Fire TV smart TVs: Omni Series (2021), 4-Series (2021), 2K HD and 4K UHD | Some models | Amazon says not every Fire TV smart TV is compatible with AirPlay. |
| Panasonic Z95A, Z93A and later models with Fire TV built in (2024 onward) | Yes | Panasonic says they are compatible with Apple Home and AirPlay, so you can stream from an iPhone and control the TV with Siri. |
| Toshiba Fire TV: 4K UHD (2020 to 2022), 4K Far-field UHD (2021), V35 (2021), C350, E330, M550 and X9900 (2022 to 2023) | Some models | Amazon's rule for Fire TV smart TVs applies. See our Toshiba screen mirroring guide. |
| Insignia Fire TV: 4K UHD Fire TV (2020) and F30 Series | Some models | The same Amazon rule applies. See our page on how to screen mirror on Insignia TV. |
