This Is What I Did To Fix Airplay Not Working On Hisense TV

Is AirPlay not working on your Hisense TV? While this sudden glitch can be frustrating, don’t rush to reset your Hisense TV or call a technician home before trying the troubleshooting hacks below.

To troubleshoot airplay on your Hisense TV, check if your TV and the devices you are trying to mirror are on the same internet connection. Furthermore, ensure that you are using a stable wired or Wi-Fi connection.

How To Fix Airplay Not Working On Hisense Smart TV

With that said, here is what you can possibly do to troubleshoot your TV if you are unable to screen share from iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, and Mac) to your Hisense TV.

Check Your Smart TV Compatibility With Airplay

Not all Hisense TVs have this feature, as the company only introduced AirPlay support in 2022. If your TV’s model is from before 2022, it may lack this feature for screen-casting Apple devices. To confirm the information about AirPlay integration, check your TV’s user manual.

In addition to verifying the compatibility of your Hisense TV with AirPlay, you must also confirm if your Apple device supports streaming content via AirPlay.

The below-mentioned Apple devices support AirPlay streaming.

iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad with iOS 12.3 or later
Mac working on macOS Mojave 10.14.5 or later

Restart Network Router

An issue with your network router can also prevent AirPlay from picking up your TV. To fix the issue, you can restart your router and reconnect your AirPlay device and Hisense TV to it.

To restart your router, follow these steps:
Unplug the router from the electrical supply
Let it wait for at least 30 seconds.
Reinsert the router plug into the electrical socket.
Wait for 1-2 minutes.
Power on the router.
Wait for the lights on the panel to turn from red to green before testing the AirPlay service.

Connect To A Different Network

Another quick fix is connecting both your TV and the Apple device to a different internet network. This could involve opting for another Wi-Fi connection or using a mobile hotspot. Once you have switched networks, check if the issue has been resolved.

Configure Your Hisense TV AirPlay Settings

The reason for screen mirroring not working on your Hisense TV can be as simple as the absence of AirPlay settings. It’s possible that you or a kid accidentally turned off the AirPlay settings using the TV remote.

Here are the steps to find out if the AirPlay settings are enabled on your Hisense TV.

Go to “Settings.”
Navigate to “Connections.”
Now click on “AirPlay and HomeKit.”
On the next window, toggle the AirPlay button to “ON”.

Reset Paired Devices On Your Apple Device

If your Apple device is connected to other devices, it may have multiple paired connections. In such cases, when connecting your Apple device to your Hisense TV, it may inadvertently connect to another device in the house, causing confusion. To develop an uninterrupted connection, you must reset all paired devices on your Apple device.

Power Cycle Your TV And Apple Devices

The easiest fix to eliminate any connectivity glitches is to restart your TV and the AirPlay devices.

To restart your TV:
Switch off the TV.
Unplug it from the electrical source.
Leave it unplugged for about 2 minutes.
Plug the TV back into the electrical socket.
Turn on the TV.
This should help remove the connectivity bug, enabling the TV to reconnect with AirPlay.

The next thing you should do is restart your Apple Device and Wi-Fi network.

Enable Device Connect Setting

Device Connect Setting allows you to watch media and content from a compatible device, say an iPhone, on your TV.

To enable the Device Connect setting on your Hisense Roku TV, follow these steps:
Navigate to “Setting.”
Go to “System.”
Click on “Advanced system settings.”
Opt for “Device connect.”
Select “Enable Device Connect.”
Restart your TV to check if the AirPlay issue has been fixed.

Confirm The Software Compatibility Between iOS Devices And TV

Before connecting your iPad or iPhone with your Hisense Roku or ViDAA TV, check the software versions they are running on. For the AirPlay function to work on your Hisense TV, both devices must be running on compatible software versions.

To check Roku’s software version:
Go to “Settings.”
Navigate to “System Options.”
Roku’s software version must be 9.4 or higher.

If the version is older than 9.4, update your TV to the latest software version to use the AirPlay feature.

Update The Roku Software Version

If you find out that your Roku TV is working on an outdated software version, you must update it.

To update the software version of your Roku TV and reinstate the AirPlay function, follow the guide below:

On the home page, go down to “Settings.”
Click over and navigate down to “System.”
Go over again and click on “System Update” or “Software Update.”
In the next window, click on “Check now.”

If a software update is available, download and install it.

Disconnect All The Paired Airplay Devices From Hisense TV

If you connected one Apple device (iPhone) to your TV using AirPlay in the past, and now you are pairing another Apple device (Mac), you may face connection issues. This is especially the case if the previous Apple device is also connected to the same Wi-Fi connection you are using for Screen sharing on your Hisense Roku TV.

To resolve the issue, you must disconnect all the paired devices from your Hisense TV. To disconnect paired devices:

Go to “Settings” from your TV’s Home screen.
Scroll down to “Connections.”
Go over and navigate to “AirPlay and HomeKit.”
In the next window, scroll down to “About AirPlay.”
Go down to “Reset Paired Devices.”
Click on “Unpair Device.”

Factory Reset Your Hisense TV

If none of the above fixes work, try resetting your Hisense Roku TV. This will restore your smart TV to default settings. If you don’t know how to do it, follow this guide.

Why Can’t I Connect My iPhone To My Hisense TV

It could be because your Hisense TV or iPhone are not connected to the same internet connection or your TV is not compatible with the AirPlay feature. Both devices should be within the Bluetooth range and connected to the same network to establish a connection.
