How To View iPhone Photos & Videos On A Samsung Smart TV

Newer model Samsung smart TVs are compatible with Apple’s AirPlay 2, which allows iPhone users to share photos, videos and music directly to the TV. While many owners of a Samsung TV and iPhone might not be aware of how to set up and use the feature, it is fairly easy to get started and take advantage of wireless viewing of phone media on the big screen.

Samsung is the leading television manufacturer in the U.S. and has enjoyed that position for many years. Samsung currently holds around a third of the market share, which is over double its nearest competitor, TCL. Samsung also creates smartphones, so some may be surprised to learn that many of its newer TVs are compatible with Apple’s AirPlay 2 streaming protocol. When Apple first created its streaming media system, it was called AirTunes, since it was for audio only. When video was added in 2010, the name was changed to AirPlay, but it still supports audio streaming as well as photos and videos.

For Samsung TVs that have AirPlay 2 compatibility, streaming photos or videos is as simple as opening the media on the iPhone, iPad or Mac computer, then tapping the Share or AirPlay icon, depending on the app used. Audio can be streamed in the same way. In the sharing menu that appears, the user can select the TV preferred for viewing. Multiple AirPlay 2 compatible TVs will be seen in the list if within Wi-Fi range, so it is important to select the right one. Upon first use, Samsung notes that a code may appear on the TV. If so, this code will need to be confirmed on the Apple device to start streaming to the TV. Of course, there is a little setup required before starting, as both the television and the iPhone must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

How Private Is Samsung’s AirPlay Support?

As mentioned, the Samsung TV must be connected to the internet and use the same Wi-Fi network as the Apple device that is used to stream the photos or video. Connecting a Samsung Smart TV to the internet can be done in the TV Settings. Open Network Settings, which can be found under General, then Network. A list of networks should appear to select from and a password may need to be entered.

For anyone concerned about privacy when wirelessly streaming media, it is helpful to know that Apple thought of this issue. AirPlay 2 encrypts the signal before broadcasting. That is the reason for the initial code requirement when setting up a new TV. The Apple device syncs with the TV to setup the encryption key before sending any media. Only the selected TV will be able to decode the photo, video or audio stream, so there is no concern over whether anyone else can access the media. For example, neighbors or those nearby can’t accidentally, or purposely, tap into the Wi-Fi signal and download movies or spy on any iPhone content meant for Samsung TV eyes only.
