Sometimes, the small screen on your phone or tablet just won’t cut it and can’t compare to watching on the big screen. With that in mind, this guide will show you how to mirror your iPhone, iPad or Mac to your Firestick in just a few easy steps.
However, unlike mirroring an Android phone or Windows PC, mirroring an iPhone, iPad or Mac requires installing an app onto your Firestick that supports AirPlay technology for screen mirroring.
This guide uses a Fire TV Stick 4K, but the steps will also work on other Firesticks, Fire TV Cubes and Fire TVs.
The Amazon Firestick is undoubtedly the most popular streaming device on the market right now due to its low price and ability to jailbreak it with just a few simple tweaks. It’s a perfect streaming device for beginners as well as advanced users who wish to cut the cord.
