How To Turn Off Screen Mirroring On iPhone, iPad, Mac & Android

Screen mirroring allows you to project your device onto a display, such as a television or computer monitor. While this can be useful for sharing content with others, there may be times when you want to turn off screen mirroring for privacy or other reasons. Here, we will discuss eleven methods of turning off mirroring on various devices, including iPhone, iPad, MacBook, and Android.

For iPhone and iPad

1 | AirBeam TV Screen Mirroring Apps

Want to know how to turn off screen mirroring with one of AirBeamTV apps? Here’s what you should do:

1. Click on the button in the app that says ‘Screen Mirroring’.
2. Then, tap ‘Stop Mirroring’. It’s the red button in your screen.
3. After that, press ‘Stop Broadcast’.

That’s how you can stop your devices to mirror.

2 | Control Center Method

1. On your iPhone or iPad, open the Control Center by swiping down from the top-right corner of the screen (or up from the bottom of the screen on some older models).
2. Tap the “Screen Mirroring” button. This will open a list of available devices that you can mirror your screen to.
3. Tap the device that you want to stop mirroring to. This will disconnect the screen mirroring session and turn off screen mirroring on your device.

3 | Turn Off Your iPhone or iPad

Another way to stop screen mirroring on an iPhone or iPad is to simply turn off the device. This is the perfect method if the iOS device becomes unresponsive. Please note that all other open apps, browsers, etc will also be closed with this method.

To turn off your iPhone or iPad, you can use the following steps:

1. Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power-off slider appears.
2. Drag the slider to the right, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off.

Alternatively, you can also turn off your device by going to the “Settings” app and selecting the “General” option. From there, scroll down to the “Shut Down” option and tap it to turn off your device.

4 | Drain Your Device’s Battery

Another way to make it stop is by draining your device’s battery. This is the slowest method out there. You do this as follows:

• Make sure your phone, tablet or computer isn’t charging. So remove the charging cord and make sure that no new energy enters the device.
• Eventually, the device turns itself off when it runs out of battery power. This ends processes. So the screen mirroring will also stop.
