There are many advantages of mirroring an iPhone to Roku. Some important ones are that you can watch videos, browse the internet, and play games on your TV. One can also use the feature to watch movies or listen to music using your phone as a remote control.

So, if you're looking for a way to get content from your iPhone onto your TV, screencasting is a great option. Follow the steps below to enable the feature:

Enable Screen Mirroring

Before using the screen mirroring feature, ensure that the mirroring is already enabled on your Roku receiver. To do this, just go to the Settings menu, click on System, and select Screen Mirroring.

How to mirror your iPhone to your Roku device?

Airplay is the most common way to mirror your iPhone's screen to Roku. To use Airplay, you'll need to have an Apple TV, or another Airplay-compatible device connected to your Roku.

Here's how you can enable the feature:

  • On the Roku Home screen, select Settings
  • Click on Apple Airplay and HomeKit
  • When the settings display, select Airplay and turn it on
  • Ensure that your Roku device and iPhone are on the same Wi-Fi network

Once you have that setup, open the Control Center on your iPhone and select your Roku from the list of available devices. You will now see your iPhone's screen on your TV wirelessly, just like with Chromecast or Apple TV.

Use a third-party app

Another popular method is to use the Mirror for Roku app. With this app, you can wirelessly connect your iPhone to a Roku device and share your screen in real-time. This is great for showing photos and videos to friends and family.
