iOS 9: AirPlay doesn't work - you can do that
You can also use AirPlay on iOS 9. If AirPlay doesn't work for you, you can often help yourself. We show the most common approaches so that you can use the Apple service again.
AirPlay does not work on iOS 9 - so fix the problem
- Restart the AirPlay devices used once. In many cases, minor problems are fixed this way.
- Often it can help if you disconnect your router from the mains for about 10 seconds. This can solve connection problems.
- Make sure that your AirPlay devices are not too far apart, otherwise a connection cannot be established.
- In addition, disruptive devices such as microwaves or the like should not be near AirPlay devices. These can interfere with reception.
- In some cases, it may already help if you install available updates for your AirPlay devices. You can obtain information from the respective manufacturer.
- You should also note that AirPlay transmission from a single app (such as from YouTube) is no longer possible.
- To establish an AirPlay connection, you have to swipe down from top to bottom on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. You can then find the corresponding option there.
Solving AirPlay problems - more options
- Since iOS 8, the devices no longer have to be in the same network, but you should turn on WiFi on both AirPlay devices.
- Note that a maximum of two AirPlay devices can connect. Therefore, make sure that no other device has connected without being noticed.
- If these tips are unsuccessful, you can try deleting the network settings. After that, you just need to connect to the WiFi network again.
