If your TV is connected with an Ethernet cable, you might need to unplug it and use Wi-Fi. Otherwise, your iPhone will feel left out, and nobody wants that!

Your Philips TV should pop up on the list. Tap on it with the excitement of finding the last slice of pizza.

Type that PIN code into the app on your iPhone. Do it carefully! Press “Pair” and hope that it matches.

Step 4: Mirror, Mirror on the... TV?
Now, let's get to the fun part: screen mirroring! On your iPhone, swipe down from the top-right corner to open the Control Center (or swipe up from the bottom if you have an older iPhone).
Look for the "Screen Mirroring" option (it might look like two overlapping rectangles). Tap it like you're choosing your superpower.
Select your Philips Smart TV from the list. It will appears like a movie star on the red carpet. Voila! Whatever's on your iPhone screen should now be magically appearing on your TV.
Think of it as turning your tiny iPhone screen into a giant, glorious display for all your friends and family to enjoy. Perfect for sharing vacation photos, showing off your mad gaming skills, or even giving presentations (if you're feeling fancy).
Step 5: Streaming to the Big Screen
Many apps like YouTube, Netflix, and Hulu have a built-in casting feature. It's indicated by a small icon that looks like a rectangle with a little Wi-Fi signal in the corner.
Open your favorite streaming app on your iPhone. Tap the casting icon. Select your Philips Smart TV. Bam! The video will now play on your TV, leaving your iPhone free to browse memes or plan your next snack attack.
