Mirroring your iPhone onto a Chromecast device is a great way to view your device’s content on a larger, more convenient display. Whether you want to watch a movie from your phone on the big screen, or you want to share a presentation for work, Chromecast can help. Here’s a guide on how to mirror your iPhone onto a Chromecast.
Check Chromecast Compatibility
Before you start, make sure that your Chromecast device is compatible with your iPhone. Most Chromecast devices can be used with iOS devices, but there are some exceptions. Check the specifications of your Chromecast device to ensure that it is compatible with iOS devices. It should list “iOS compatibility” as one of its features.
Enable Screen Mirroring on Your iPhone
Before you can mirror your iPhone onto a Chromecast device, you need to enable screen mirroring on your iPhone. To do this, go to your device’s Settings and then select “Screen Mirroring”. If your device does not have this option, you may need to update it to the latest software version.
Connect Your iPhone to the Same Network as Your Chromecast
To mirror your iPhone onto a Chromecast device, both devices need to be on the same network. If your iPhone is connected to a different network than your Chromecast, you won’t be able to mirror your device. Make sure both devices are connected to the same network before proceeding.

The Chromecast app is available for free on the App Store. Once you’ve downloaded it, open the app and select your Chromecast device. You should see a list of available devices on your network. Select your Chromecast device and then tap “Connect”.
Enable Screen Mirroring
Once your iPhone is connected to the Chromecast device, you’ll need to enable screen mirroring. To do this, open the Control Center on your iPhone and tap the “Screen Mirroring” button. Select your Chromecast device from the list of available devices and then tap “Mirror”.
View Your iPhone’s Content on the Big Screen
Once you’ve enabled screen mirroring, your iPhone’s content will be displayed on the Chromecast device. You can stream videos, photos, and slideshows from your phone to the bigger display. You can also use apps such as Netflix and YouTube to stream content on the Chromecast.
Stop Screen Mirroring
When you’re done mirroring your iPhone onto the Chromecast device, you can stop the screen mirroring process. To do this, open the Control Center on your iPhone and tap the “Screen Mirroring” button. Select your Chromecast device from the list of available devices and then tap “Stop Mirroring”.
