Application to mirror the screen and audio of your iPhone or iPad to any
Samsung Smart TV. No wires and no additional hardware needed! You can
mirror any app on your iPhone or iPad to your Samsung TV.
![]()
To mirror video as well as audio, please make sure that you start mirroring when
you are IN the app (Photos, YouTube, Facebook etc.) that you want to mirror to
your TV.
This works on any Samsung Smart TV from the 2012 models onward. Which
model year do you have? You can see that by looking at the middle letter in your
model type (on the back of your Samsung TV).
E = 2012
F = 2013
H = 2014
J = 2015
K = 2016
M = 2017
For instance:
UE55_E_S8000 = 2012.
UE78_H_U8500L = 2014.
In using the app, there will be a couple of seconds of latency (usually between 1
and 3). So this mirroring is not suitable for gaming.
However, it is very suitable for watching movies, giving presentations, watching
photos, and much more!

How the app works
1. Make sure that your iPhone or iPad is connected to the same local network as
your Samsung TV. Don’t use multiple VLANs or subnets.
2. Setup Control Centre on your iPhone or iPad to include the “Screen Recording”
option. This is how that works:
a. Go to Settings on your iPhone or iPad, then select Control Centre
b. iPhone only: Switch on: Access Within Apps
c. iPhone and iPad: click on Customise Controls
d. “Screen Recording” should be in the list of “Include” options. If it is not, scroll
down and find “Screen Recording”. Click on the green + sign on the left of Screen
Recording, to include it into your Control Centre
3. Launch the Mirror for Samsung TV app. It will start looking for your Samsung
TV(s) on your local network. When a TV is found, please select it. When you use
this app for the first time, depending on your model Samsung TV, the TV might
ask you to “allow” the connection. In that case, take your TV Remote Control and
press OK to allow the connection from your TV to your iPhone or iPad.
4. We will start with showing you an instruction video on how to setup Control
Centre. If you have done that already, click on Next Step
5. Turn on notifications for this app. We will not spam you, but we will use this to
let you know if your TV is working correctly or not. So please, please allow it,
otherwise when things don’t work as they should, you are left in the dark.
6. Now we will open YouTube on your iPhone or iPad to show you how to use
Control Centre to start screen mirroring to your Samsung TV. Press “Open in
YouTube” to start.
7. After watching the video, try it yourself! Go to the app on your iPhone or iPad
that you want to mirror and slide up Control Centre. LONG / 3D Touch “Screen
Recording” (NOT: Screen Mirroring!). Select Mirror Samsung TV to start
mirroring.

Limitations and known issues
1. Audio
– When screen mirroring from Safari, there is no audio.
– When you switch to another app, the audio stops on TV. So, you need to start
mirroring after you launched the app that you want mirror on TV.
2. DRM
Some apps don’t allow screen mirroring. For instance Netflix: when you start
screen mirroring when running the Netflix app on your iPhone or iPad, the TV
screen will turn black. This is a choice that Netflix made, there is nothing that we
can do about that.
