How to Connect Phone to TV?

[colvian_star]

I want to learn how to connect phone to TV for screen sharing or watching videos on a bigger screen. What are the easiest methods using cable or wireless options, and do they work for both Android and iPhone? Anyone who has tried this, please explain.

There are two main ways to connect a phone to a TV: wired (cable) and wireless (casting/mirroring). Which one works best depends on your phone model and what your TV supports.

I figured out How to Connect Phone to TV when I wanted to watch YouTube on a bigger screen. On Android, screen casting worked instantly, while my iPhone needed AirPlay. Both were easy once everything was on the same Wi-Fi.

Wireless mirroring is overrated. Cables are more stable.

True, but cables are annoying if you just want quick screen sharing.

Fair, but wireless lags during videos sometimes.

Depends on the TV and Wi-Fi speed, honestly.

For Android:

• Use Cast / Smart View (built into most phones)
  
  
• Or Chromecast

For iPhone:

• Use AirPlay with Apple TV or compatible smart TVs

Both require the phone and TV to be on the same network.

If you’re searching How to Connect Phone to TV using a cable, use:

• USB-C to HDMI for most Android phones
  
  
• Lightning or USB-C to HDMI for iPhones

This method works even without Wi-Fi and is very reliable.

It is possible to use a wired HDMI connection, screen casting using wireless connections, the inbuilt screen mirroring options, or smart TV applications to share with a phone.

A smart phone may be connected to a TV with an HDMI device, by wireless screen mirroring, inbuilt casting applications or smart TV applications.
