Have you tried using a third-party app like ‘MirrorCast’? Sometimes Apple’s native mirroring options can be finicky, or just plain hard to find. By using a dedicated app, you might have a smoother experience.
From my experience, if you still have trouble finding the Screen Mirroring option, it could be missing due to restrictions or settings. You can go to Settings > Control Center > Customize Controls, and make sure Screen Mirroring is added to your Control Center.
And just to add to @boswandelaar’s detailed process, one trick you might find useful is restarting both your iPhone and your TV. Sometimes, a simple reboot can solve the connectivity issues.
By the way, another app to consider is the Mirror Plus app which is very user-friendly and works quite well for screen mirroring purposes.
For those who want a seamless experience with a straightforward interface, you might want to check this enhanced screen mirroring app on the App Store. It simplifies the mirroring process and might save you some headaches.
Don’t forget to ensure your iPhone’s iOS is updated to the latest version, as Apple occasionally rolls out fixes and improvements for AirPlay and screen mirroring features.
Happy streaming!
