Mirroring your phone’s display to your Amazon Fire TV should be a seamless task but you can run into complications if your smartphone isn’t compatible with the Fire Stick. This is because Amazon Fire TV Stick supports Miracast to display content over WiFi, while iOS and stock Android devices support AirPlay and Chromecast respectively. Certain Android skins like MIUI, Oxygen OS, One UI and more, support Miracast which makes the task considerably easier. Before you begin mirroring your smartphone’s display to your Fire TV, it is essential that you make sure that both devices are connected to the same WiFi network. Once that’s taken care of, you can use these 4 methods to mirror your Android or iPhone screen to Amazon Fire TV Stick.
