How to AirPlay or mirror your iPhone or iPad display to an Apple TV

Mirror iPhone to Apple TV

You can easily send your Mac screen to your Apple TV and either mirror it or use it as a second display. So, if you want to show something you have on your iPhone or iPad up on your Apple TV, this is just as simple.

You can use AirPlay if you have a video on your iPhone you want to show everyone in the room. And if you want to see a bigger picture of something on your device and interact with it, you can use Screen Mirroring.

Here’s how to both AirPlay and mirror your iPhone or iPad display to Apple TV.

This prevents certain apps like Amazon Instant Video, HBOGO, and DirectTV from being enjoyed on your television set via AirPlay using an Apple TV.

It's actually surprising that it took this long for a Cydia developer to come up with a fix for this, but it's finally here. UnrestrictPremium is a tweak that allows you to watch video via AirPlay mirroring or HDMI output, even if the developer of the app restricts users from doing so. Want to see how it works?
