Airplay allows you to stream multimedia files such as photos, music, and videos from your iPhone to Apple TV, AirPort Express, or other Airplay-enabled devices. It comes in handy when you want to stream the contents of your phone’s screen to a larger screen. By default, only Apple devices support Airplay. You can get an Apple TV that functions as an Airplay server so that you can mirror your iPhone’s screen to your TV. Without an Airplay-enabled device or an Apple TV, you cannot use Airplay – unless you use the steps in this tutorial which explain how to mirror from iPhone to Windows computer using Airplay.
