Your iPhone can do a whole lot these days, and even though the screens are getting bigger and bigger, they are still not quite as large as your LG television. Let’s look at whether we can mirror your TV.

Your iPhone, or any iOS device, has the ability to Screen Mirror to an LG TV with a few easy steps: 

  • Make sure both are connected to WiFi
  • Find the Screen Mirror option on your iPhone
  • Choose your LG TV

Screen Mirroring is an easy experience. However, sometimes you don’t always have access to the internet. Below we will see how to mirror your screen as well as other methods as well. 

Setting up Screen Mirroring for iPhone and LG TV

Sometimes, you just want to show your friends a quick video or photo without having to go through the hassle of setting anything up. 

Here’s how we set up screen mirroring with an LG Tv and an iPhone. 

Make sure Both Phone and TV are connected to WiFi

The first thing you want to do is make sure that both your iPhone and LG TV screen are connected to WiFi. Let’s look side by side at how the connection works with these two devices

Screen Mirroring with your iPhone

This is the easiest part. While your iPhone’s menu is still dropped down, go ahead and find the Mirror icon on your menu. 

The mirror icon is going to look like two screens, or squares, overlapping each other. 

Once you click on that icon, it going to show you a list of devices that are compatible to mirror with you. Go ahead and choose your LG TV. 

Another way you can connect is by using AirPlay.

Using AirPlay to Connect any Apple Device with your LG

AirPlay is another program that uses WiFi to connect your Apple device to your television. 

However, you must have at least an iPhone 4, and your tv must be from 2018 or newer. 

That being said, there are just a few easy steps you will need to do on your television to use AirPlay. 

  • Find the Home button on your LG remote, and open up the menu.
  • Scroll down to find the feature labeled “AirPlay”
  • Activate your AirPlay on your LG TV.

From there, you can go into your Apple device and set it up on that end too.  

  • Make sure you are connected to the same WiFi network
  • Go to the media that you want to play.
  • Click on the screen share button on the top right corner of your media’s screen
  • Choose the option to AirPlay and choose your LG television

An example of this is if you are watching a video on Youtube. There is a button with a screen with a little WiFi icon in the corner of the screen. This is your screen share button. 

A menu will pop up on the bottom of the screen and give you options, including the AirPlay icon, which is a screen with a triangle at the bottom. 

AirPlay is a tad more complicated, but it does do its job well. Let’s take a look, next, at how to use a Third-Party app to link your Apple Device to LG. 

technically runs on an Android operating system, so to align it with your Apple iPhone, you will need an intermediary, aka a third-party connection. 

TV Assist

The most popular mediator app for this attachment is TV Assist. It is easily downloadable onto your iPhone, and it’s even free!

Once you’ve successfully added the app, it will prompt you to connect to your television. 

From there, you can allow it to access the photos, microphone, camera, and more on your iPhone. 

Both devices must be connected to the same wireless network to ensure a stable and strong connection.

With TV Assist or any of the other many connection apps, your iPhone will conveniently mirror your LG TV. Let’s take a look at one more: Chromecast

Connecting Without WiFi

Briefly, we are going to discuss how to connect your Apple device to LG without the use of a wireless connection. 

Check to make sure you have an HDMI port on the back, or side, of your television, and connect the HDMI portion to your TV and the other end to your apple device. 

Then, change the input to HDMI, and you are ready to go. 

Conclusion

It has never been easier to connect your multiple devices.  

You no longer have to be technologically savvy, have several different types of cables, or even have all your devices run by the same company or system. 

If you have a variety of Apple products, you can easily connect them to your Android devices like your LG TV with only a third-party app or additional program.

As we have learned, most of these options are free and exceedingly easy to use, so there is nothing stopping you from mirroring your iPhone to your LG TV.
