How to Mirror Your iPhone 7 to an LG Smart TV

Mirroring your iPhone 7 to an LG Smart TV can enhance your viewing experience, especially when you want to share content from your phone on a larger screen. Here, we will guide you through two common methods—using AirPlay 2 and utilizing a third-party mirroring app.

Method 1: Using AirPlay 2 If Supported

Ensure Compatibility

First, confirm that your LG Smart TV supports AirPlay 2. Most newer models do, but it's always a good idea to check your model specifications if you're unsure.

Connect to the Same Wi-Fi Network

Ensure that both your iPhone 7 and LG Smart TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. A stable network connection is essential for a smooth mirroring experience.

Enable AirPlay on LG TV

Go to the Settings on your LG TV. Navigate to the General section. Locate the Apple AirPlay Settings. Turn on AirPlay.

Open Control Center on iPhone

Swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen, or swipe up from the bottom if you have an older iOS version. Select Screen Mirroring. Choose your LG Smart TV from the list of available devices.

Enter the AirPlay Code (If Prompted)

If your TV shows an AirPlay code, enter it on your iPhone. This ensures a secure and reliable connection.

Start Mirroring

Once these steps are completed, your iPhone screen should be successfully mirrored onto your LG Smart TV.

Method 2: Using a Third-Party App

If your LG TV does not support AirPlay 2, a third-party app is a viable alternative. We recommend apps like Let'sView or ApowerMirror.

Download the App

Install the chosen mirroring app on your iPhone from the App Store. Some apps may also require you to install a corresponding app on your LG TV. Check the app's instructions carefully.

Connect to the Same Wi-Fi Network

Ensure that both your iPhone and LG TV are on the same Wi-Fi network for a stable connection.

Open the App on Both Devices

Launch the app on your iPhone. Launch the app on your LG TV.

Follow the App Instructions

The app will guide you through the mirroring process. This typically involves selecting your LG Smart TV from a list of available devices.

Start Mirroring

Once connected, your iPhone screen should be displayed on your LG Smart TV.

Additional Tips

Ensure your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS for the best compatibility. If you encounter any issues with connectivity, restart both your iPhone and LG TV. When using third-party apps, check their reviews and compatibility with your devices to ensure a smooth experience.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully mirror your iPhone 7 to your LG Smart TV, enhancing your viewing experience and enjoying your content on a larger screen.
