How to Airplay iPhone & Mac to Firestick

Contents

AirPlay is an interesting feature to share audio, video, photos, music, movies, and more between Apple devices. But you can also AirPlay the iPhone/iPad and Mac content to other devices like Smart TVs and streaming devices. For example, the latest Samsung Smart TVs, Roku Streaming Devices, and LG Smart TVs officially support AirPlay technology. However, Firestick is still not equipped with AirPlay support. But you can screen mirror the Apple content on Firestick by using a third-party app.

AirScreen – Screen Mirroring App for Firestick

Since Firestick doesn’t have AirPlay support, you can install the AirScreen app on your Firestick for screen mirroring iPhone and Mac contents.

The application is natively available on the Amazon App Store. You don’t need a downloader on Firestick to install this app. You just have to connect the streaming device and the Apple device to successful screen mirroring.

Tips! If you have an Android smartphone or tablet, you can easily cast to Firestick without installing third-party apps.
