You can mirror your iPhone to a TV without WiFi. It may come as a surprise but it is indeed possible. Without the help of WiFi, you can still connect your iPhone to your TV and show the screen content on a bigger screen. There are multiple ways to do this which we will discuss in this article. However, if you need something quick, here are some fast tips to get started: If you have an Apple TV or Chromecast and want to use these devices for mirroring with an iPhone, make sure they’re updated and connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iPhone.

Mirror Your iPhone To TV Without WiFi
Mirror iPhone to TV with HDMI Cable
The first and the most popular way to mirror iPhone to TV is by using an HDMI cable. With this, you can connect your iPhone (or any phone with a lightning port) to your TV via an HDMI cable. You can find HDMI cables for around $10 in any store nearby. To mirror iPhone to TV with HDMI cable, follow these steps: First, plug one end of the HDMI cable into your TV and the other end into your iPhone’s lightning port. This will mirror your iPhone’s screen on the TV. Now, to view content from your iPhone’s screen on your TV, go to your settings and select Display. On Display, enable “AirPlay Mirroring.” Now, go to your TV and select the source as “AirPlay.” The TV will now show the content from your iPhone’s screen.
Mirror iPhone to TV Using Google Chrome
In this method, you will not be using an HDMI cable to mirror iPhone to the TV but will use the Google Chrome browser instead. You can use any browser for this, but we recommend Google Chrome because of some added features. To mirror iPhone to TV using Google Chrome, follow these steps: First, open up Google Chrome on your PC or Mac. Now, go to the “Cast” option and select “Cast a tab.” On the drop-down menu, select the tab that you want to cast. This can be any website that is open. Now, select the device you want it to be cast to. Your iPhone’s screen will now be mirrored using this method. You can also change the resolution and other settings using the drop-down menu. You can also use the volume controls on your computer for controlling the sound.
Mirror iPhone to TV via USB C Cable
If you have an iPhone XS or XS Max, you can also mirror iPhone to the TV via a USB C cable. This method is a bit more complicated than the other two, but it is also the most reliable of them all. To mirror iPhone to TV via USB C cable, follow these steps: First, plug your USB C cable into your Apple TV, and plug the other end into your iPhone’s USB C port. This will now allow you to mirror your iPhone to TV via a USB C cable. Now, go to your TV and change the source to “USB” and select your Apple TV’s name. Next, go to your phone’s settings and select “TV.” Now, select your Apple TV’s name and select “Mirroring.” Your iPhone’s screen will be mirrored on TV. You can now control the screen using the Apple TV remote. You can also change the volume on your phone’s screen by pressing the “Up” or “Down” button on your Apple TV remote.
