It's easy to use AirPlay on an iPhone or a MacBook to connect to a TV, as long as the display supports AirPlay. To AirPlay content from your iPhone or iPad to a TV, first confirm that both the TV and the iPhone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and make sure that AirPlay is turned on for your TV. Once confirmed, open the content from a compatible app on your iOS device, like Prime Video or Disney+, and select the AirPlay icon at the top right.
