Roku devices now support AirPlay and Apple HomeKit. That means you can watch YouTube videos, show off vacation photos, and display anything from your iPhone screen directly to your TV. Here’s how to screen mirror your iPhone to a Roku device, which Roku devices support AirPlay, and what to do if your iPhone won’t mirror to your Roku device.
To mirror your iPhone to a Roku device, open the Control Center on your iPhone. Then tap the Screen Mirroring button and select your Roku device from the pop-up list. Finally, enter the code that appears on your TV into your iPhone and tap OK.
You can stop mirroring your iPhone screen at any time by pressing the Home button on your Roku remote. Or you can go back to the Control Center on your iPhone, select Screen Mirroring, and then tap Stop Mirroring.
If you are having problems mirroring your iPhone screen to your Roku device, first, you should make sure that your device supports AirPlay.
Currently, only certain 4K Roku devices support AirPlay, including some Roku TV models, the Roku Streambar, Roku Streaming Stick+, Roku Streaming Stick 4K, Roku Express 4K, Roku Premiere, and Roku Ultra.
To find out if your Roku device supports AirPlay, you can go to Settings > System > About on your Roku device and compare your model number to the chart below.
If your Roku device is not compatible with AirPlay, you can still use your iPhone to “cast” videos, music, and photos to your TV. Check out our step-by-step guide on how to cast content from your iPhone to Roku device to find out more.
If you have a compatible Roku device, but you are still not able to mirror your iPhone screen, you might have to change the AirPlay settings on your Roku device. Here’s how:
To change your AirPlay settings on a Roku device, press the Home button on your remote and go to Settings > Apple AirPlay and HomeKit. Then select AirPlay and HomeKit Settings and make sure AirPlay is turned on. Then you can change the Require Code setting to Every Time.
You can also change other AirPlay settings in this window. If you are having problems screen mirroring your iPhone, it’s a good idea to change the Require Code setting to Every Time. This way, your iPhone will always ask for a passcode, which should make connecting to your Roku easier.
From here, you can also select Set Up under HomeKit, which will let you use the Home app on your iPhone or your HomePod smart speakers to control your TV. For example, you can say, “Hey, Siri, turn off my Roku TV.”
