AirPlay not showing on TV could be due to several reasons: network issues (both devices need the same Wi-Fi), incompatible TV (ensure your TV supports AirPlay), or software updates (ensure both devices have the latest software). Restarting both devices and checking AirPlay settings on the TV might resolve the issue. Always consult your TV's user manual for specific instructions.
FAQs & Answers
