Before we move on to the guide, keep in mind that screenshot will work on both your iPhone and Android TV. must be connected to a public WiFi network. Apart from that, make sure both devices are closer to the router for the best screen mirroring experience from iPhone to Android TV.
1. If you are using Google apps, Chromecast supported apps like Netflix, etc. You can easily cast your iPhone screen to Android TV. You won’t need to make your Android TV AirPlay compatible as these apps come with Chromecast built-in. Open any supported app (in my case, Google Photos) and look for the “cast” button. It is usually located in the upper right or lower right corner. Now, tap on it.
2. Next, tap on Android TV and there you are. Your iPhone screen will be cast on Android TV in seconds. The best part is also supports audio output and landscape mode.
3. If you are not using any of the Chromecast supported apps and want to mirror the entire iPhone screen to Android TV, you need to install a third-party app. Go ahead and Install ApowerMirror (iPhone / Android TV – Offers free, in-app purchases) on both your iPhone and Android TV. It will make your Android TV AirPlay compatible.
4. Now open ApowerMirror on both your devices and grant the necessary permissions. Next, open Control Center on your iPhone and Tap on “Screen Mirroring”. Here you will find “Apowersoft” along with the Android TV name. Tap on it to cast your iPhone to Android TV.

And also supports audio output, zoom in/out and landscape mode. This is great, isn’t it? From now on, you don’t need to open the app on both devices and keep it active.
