   Step 3. Connect one end of the adapter to your iPhone and the other end to the HDMI port on your TV.

   Step 4. Change your TV input source to the HDMI port to which your iPhone is connected.

3. Chromecast or Similar Devices:

   Step 3. Open the app you want to cast from and look for the Cast icon (usually an icon with waves or rectangles).

   Step 4. Select your Chromecast device from the list.

4. Smart TV Apps:
