I see. You have the iPhone, correct?

I’m using a smart tv

Yes, and your phone + Apple AirPlay to stream on your TV, correct?

Customer Replay

yes

Good. In that case, first, let's check if your Vizio TV is up to date.
Press the Menu button on your VIZIO Remote. Select the System Option. Select the Check for Updates Option.

Customer Replay

the tv is up to date

Great
Next, go to SmartCast Home by pressing the V button or Home button on your VIZIO TV remote. At the top of the screen select the Extras menu. Highlight the AirPlay option and let me know what you see there, *****.

It’s working now thanks
