How to AirPlay on Incompatible Hisense TVs?

As Hisense has implemented the AirPlay feature to their TVs in 2020, you cannot AirPlay or screen mirror any content from your iPhone if you have older models. You can also use the below methods on the Hisense TV models that support AirPlay.

If you are using Hisense TV models such as H8G, H9G, etc., that are manufactured before 2020, there will be no AirPlay feature available. In that case, you can use any third-party screen mirroring apps to screen share the device content on Hisense TV. You can install those screen mirroring apps on your Hisense TV from the app store. Also, install the same app on your Apple device. Then, connect the Hisense TV and Apple device to the same WiFi. Launch the app on both your devices and start screen mirroring the content by following the on-screen instructions. A few of the best screen mirroring apps to install on your Hisense TV are as follows.

• LetsView – (Play Store | App Store)
• ApowerMirror – (Play Store | App Store)
• AirBeamTV – (Play Store | App Store)

Other than third-party screen mirroring apps, you can use the Lightning digital AV adapter to AirPlay the content on your TV. This method is useful for those who are using old Hisense TVs that don’t support WiFi. Simply connect the adapter to the HDMI port on your Hisense TV using an HDMI cable and insert the adapter’s lightning cable into your iPhone’s charging port. Then, change the HDMI input on your Hisense TV to view your phone’s content on a big screen.
