Streaming from an iPhone to a TV may encounter issues if both devices aren't on the same Wi-Fi network, or if the TV isn't compatible. Ensure your TV supports AirPlay and that both devices are connected to the same network. If problems persist, try restarting both devices or updating their software. Using an HDMI adapter and cable to connect your iPhone directly to the TV is another effective solution for seamless streaming.
