  1. How.com.vn English: Step 1 Activate Bluetooth on your Apple TV and iPhone.
    You'll need to be using an Apple TV that's at least Generation 3 and running OS 7 or later. The iPhone must be from at least 2012 and running iOS 8 at the very least. This method will not work for older Apple TVs, non-Apple TVs, or older iPhones.
    • The Bluetooth on Apple TVs is on by default, so you shouldn't have to worry about turning it on.[4]
    • With an iPhone, you can swipe down to access Control Center and tap the Bluetooth icon to turn it on.[5]
  2. How.com.vn English: Step 2 Enable Wi-Fi on your phone.
    If your phone is connecting to a different network, you can tap that network and forget it.[6]
    • You're going to need Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on in order to transmit and receive signals from your Apple TV, but this won't work if your iPhone is connected to any Wi-Fi networks.
  3. How.com.vn English: Step 3 Tap Screen Mirroring.
    It should appear on your iPhone's screen when your Apple TV detects it.[7]
    • If this Peer-to-Peer method does not work for you, try using an HDMI cable.
    • This will probably not work with Netflix or other streaming apps.
