Mirror iPhone to Amazon Fire TV Stick

Unlike Apple TV, there is no native way to stream the iPhone screen to Fire TV Stick. However, you can use a third-party app from the Amazon App Store to achieve this. Follow the steps below to mirror your iPhone to Amazon Fire TV Stick.

Download AirScreen App on Fire TV Stick

To get started, you need to download the AirScreen app on your Fire TV Stick. Here's how:

  1. Switch on your Fire TV Stick and go to the “Find” menu.
  2. Select “Search.”
  3. Type “AirScreen” in the virtual keyboard and select the app from the suggestions.
  4. Click on the app and use the “Download” button to install it on your Fire TV Stick.

Assuming you have a decent internet speed, the app will download in just a minute or two.

AirScreen Requirements

Before you launch the AirScreen app on your Fire TV Stick, make sure you meet the following requirements:

  • Check if you have a double-digit internet speed.
  • Ensure both your Fire TV Stick and iPhone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
  • For better internet speeds, connect to the 5 GHz Wi-Fi frequency instead of the 2.4 GHz one.
