Make sure to double-check your TV’s manual because not all Philips TVs are AirPlay compatible. On some of those models, you might need to resort to a screen mirroring app like the Docast screen mirroring app. It can really save the day.
Also, here’s a tip that’s not often mentioned: if your Philips TV happens to be a smart TV but doesn’t natively support AirPlay, explore your TV’s built-in app store. Downloading a dedicated screen mirroring app directly onto the TV can sometimes provide a more stable connection.
Be cautious with extensive network interference; many devices connected to the same Wi-Fi can interfere with the screen mirroring process. Try disconnecting unnecessary devices temporarily.
Occasionally, it’s worth checking if your router has a dual-band setting (2.4GHz and 5GHz). Connecting both your iPhone and the Philips TV to the 5GHz band often results in smoother screen mirroring due to less congestion.
On the troubleshooting front, an overlooked but useful step: resetting network settings on your iPhone. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This often resolves connectivity issues without affecting other data on your device.
Hope that helps, and let us know if you need more pointers!
