One can mirror his/ her phone’s screen easily to Amazon Firestick. However, methods are different based on the device you have. Below, we’ve mentioned a detailed step-by-step guide for both Android and iPhone.

On Android Phones

You can easily mirror your Android phone’s screen to your Firestick using the steps below. But before we start, make sure that both the devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

1] Enable Screen Mirroring on FireStick:

Hold down the Home button on your Firestick remote. Then, select Mirroring to enable it. Alternatively, you can also enable mirroring in Settings > Display & Sounds > Display Mirroring.

2] Enable Screen Mirroring on your Android:

Now, unlock your phone, head to Settings > Connections, and enable ‘Screen Mirroring.’ You can also find the option in the quick settings tile with different names like Wireless Display, Screen Cast, Smart View, or Miracast (will vary based on your phone’s make and model).

3] Connect the Firestick Device:

Once enabled, your Firestick/ Fire TV’s name should appear in the list of available devices. Select the device and wait for the screen mirroring to begin. Again, make sure that the Fire TV and your phone are connected to the same wireless network.

No Built-in Screen Mirroring? Use Third-Party Apps

Due to restrictions imposed by Google, most stock Android devices do not allow you to mirror your phone to TV except for Chromecast. In that case, you can use third-party apps to mirror your phone’s display using the steps below. That said, it may not be as smooth as the built-in screen mirroring.

1. Download and install the Cast to TV app on your phone.
2. Connect the phone and Fire TV to the same WiFi network.
3. Now, open the app and wait for it to automatically detect your Fire TV device. Once detected, tap the device name to start screen mirroring.

On iPhone (iOS)

AirScreen is a third-party app that lets you mirror content from your iPhone’s screen to a Firestick device using the iOS AirPlay technology. Like the method above, you need to connect both devices to the same network.

1. On your Firestick device, hover over the search icon and type “Airscreen.”
2. Select the Airscreen app and click Download.
3. Once installed, open the app and click Start Now.
4. On your iPhone, open the Control Center and click on Screen Mirroring.

   
   

5. Tap your Firestick device’s name to start screen mirroring.

That’s it, your iPhone’s screen will now be successfully mirrored to the Fire TV device. If you’re not sure about the name, you can view or change it in the Airscreen app’s setting.

Wrapping Up

This was all about how you can mirror your Android or iPhone’s screen to the Firestick device and enjoy photos, videos, and much more on a larger screen. Anyway, did you face any issues with the methods above? Let me know in the comments below.

Casting to an Amazon Fire TV Stick is a handy option. It can help you view your laptop, smartphone, or tablet content on the TV screen connected to your Amazon Fire TV Stick.

It's easy to set up with a Windows 10 or 11 PC or Android device. It's slightly more difficult on an iOS device for those of you who may want to cast from your iPhone, for example.

We'll walk you through how to cast on all three options.

Getting Ready to Cast to Your Fire TV Stick

Your Windows 10/11 PC and Android device have native casting ability, while an iOS device such as an iPhone requires a third-party app.

You’ll need to enable both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on your devices. Whenever using Bluetooth, it's a good idea to reboot your computer or device before setup. Windows 11 has some new Bluetooth settings which should improve its functionality. Also, make sure your devices are within 30 feet of each other before casting.

Cast to Your Fire Stick From Your Windows 10/11 PC

You’ll cast to the Fire Stick using Windows Action Center.

1. With your Amazon Fire TV remote, hold the Home button for about three seconds.
2. Select Mirroring.
3. You’ll see the Display Mirroring screen.
4. On your computer, click the small square icon in the lower right corner to get to the Manage notifications window.
5. Click Connect.
6. Click your Fire TV device listed (it may be listed as Fire TV by default.)
7. On your TV you’ll see preparing to mirror the display from your device to your Fire TV.
8. Your PC content will cast to your Fire TV.

It’s important to note that while on the Display Mirroring screen, Alexa will not have functionality access to your Fire TV Stick.

For example, you'll have to wait before asking Alexa to play something on Netflix on Fire TV. Your Fire TV Stick will be in mirror mode until you exit this screen by pressing a remote button.

Cast to Fire TV Stick From Your Android Device

An Android device will have native ability to cast to a Fire TV. The settings you encounter may vary depending on your Android device type.

1. With your Amazon Fire TV remote, hold the Home button for about three seconds.
2. Select Mirroring.
3. You’ll see the Display Mirroring screen.

7. Swipe to page over until you can tap SmartView.
8. You’ll see a list of available devices.

After a few seconds, your Android display will cast to Fire TV. You may need to tap a button on your remote to exit the Display Mirroring screen.

Cast to a Fire Stick From Your iPhone or iPad

You’ll need to download an app on your Fire TV to cast from your iPhone or iPad. In this example, we’ll use the AirScreen app, which is free and works well. It doesn't require an app on your iPhone or iPad, although it does include advertisements.
