To AirPlay instead of screen mirroring, first ensure both your devices are on the same Wi-Fi network. Open the content you want to AirPlay on your iOS device or Mac, and look for the AirPlay icon (a rectangle with an arrow pointing upwards). Tap on it and select the target device from the list. Unlike screen mirroring, AirPlay only transmits the content (e.g., video or audio) without showing your entire screen, offering better performance and privacy.
