Note: Make sure you have a working and stable Wi-Fi connection. In case you are getting any issues with that, check out my tutorial on fixing internet connection problems on Samsung TV.
- Connect your Samsung TV to a Wi-Fi network. To do so, press the Home button on your TV remote and navigate to Settings > General > Network > Open Network Settings > Wireless and select the network you want to connect to.
- Connect your Android phone or tablet to the same Wi-Fi network.
- When both devices are connected, enable Smart View (Samsung), Cast (Xiaomi, Vivo, OnePlus), Screencast (Realme, Oppo), and MirrorShare (Huawei, Honor) on your smartphone or tablet. I have already mentioned the steps to access the screen mirroring feature on all Android devices above. Since I got a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Plus and Redmi K30 Pro, the steps and screenshots are from these phones only.
- As soon as you enable Smart View or Cast feature, your devices will start searching for the devices connected over the same wireless network. You’ll see the model code of your Samsung TV listed on the screen. Tap on it and select Start Now.
- At this point, you’ll see a prompt on your Samsung TV to give permission to connect to your Android device. Select the Allow option by pressing the center button on the remote.
- You are now ready to share the screen of your Android phone or tablet on your Samsung TV.
- While the Smart View or screen sharing is enabled, you’ll see a floating button on the screen. You can change the aspect ratio and disable screen sharing by tapping it.
Mirror iPhone & iPad to Samsung TV
Just like Android, iOS, iPadOS, and iPod OS also support screen mirroring. Using this feature, you can share the screen of your iPhone or iPad to your Apple TV or Samsung TV that supports AirPlay 2. If you want to find out if your Samsung TV has the Apple AirPlay feature or not, go to Settings > General and look for AirPlay Settings there.
Anyway, follow the steps given below to enjoy screen mirroring from iPhone and iPad to Samsung TV.
- Make sure that your iPhone or iPad and your Samsung TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
- Now, open the Control Center on your Apple device.
- On iPhone X or newer and iPad (iPadOS or later), swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen.

- Tap on the Screen Mirroring tile on the Control Center screen.
- Your device will search for the available Apple TV or AirPlay-compatible Samsung TV.
- Tap on the Samsung TV to start mirroring your iPhone or iPad.
- Enter the four-digit AirPlay code that appears on your TV screen.
- By default, your Samsung TV will use the same display orientation and aspect ratio as your iPad and iPhone. You can change the viewing experience by going to the Picture size settings on your TV. If you don’t want to enter the four-digit code every time you want to share your iPhone or iPad’s screen, go to Settings > General > Apple AirPlay settings and change your preference.
If you want to stop screen mirroring on your iOS or iPadOS device, open the Control Center and tap on Stop Mirroring.
Mirror iOS/Android Screen with SmartThings
