Can You AirPlay to Firestick Using iPhone & Mac

Though Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick run with Fire OS, only selective Fire OS Smart TVs have built-in AirPlay support. So, you can’t AirPlay to Firestick. Instead of AirPlay, you can use a third-party screen mirroring app to connect your Apple device to a Firestick. Then, you can screen mirror your iPhone/iPad to a Firestick-connected TV. Before you begin the procedure, you should link your iPhone/iPad and Firestick to the same WiFi for wireless mirroring on Firestick.

In this article, I will teach you how to mirror your iPhone or Mac to a Firestick using a mirroring app.
