In our comparison between Android TV and Amazon Fire TV Stick, we noted that both devices basically run Android OS. So we expect the broadcast to be as smooth as on devices like Chromecast, but that’s not the case.

And if you are mirroring from iPhone to Fire TV Stick, you will need a separate app. So, if you want a detailed guide on how to cast Android or iOS screen on Amazon Fire TV Stick, go ahead.
