To cast an iPhone to a Fire Stick, you must use a third-party app as most Fire TV models lack AirPlay support. DoCast stands out for its seamless, ad-free experience. It offers free screen mirroring sessions of 15 minutes and offline video casting for 3 minutes. With a user-friendly interface and premium options for unlimited use starting at $1.99/week, it’s an ideal choice. Simply download DoCast on your iPhone and follow a few steps to cast to Fire TV. Additionally, Android devices can cast without third-party apps. For more, check our next forum post for a detailed tutorial.
Hey everyone! If you’re looking to cast your iPhone to a Fire Stick, you’ll need a third-party app since most Fire Stick and Fire TV models don’t support AirPlay out of the box. There are quite a few apps that can get the job done, but not all of them offer the same features or ease of use.
One app that really stands out for seamless screen mirroring is DoCast. Let’s dive into how you can use it to mirror your iPhone’s screen to a Fire TV Stick.

How to Cast to Your Fire TV Stick From Your Android Device 
If you’re looking to cast your Android device to a Fire TV Stick, good news—it’s way easier than doing the same with an iPhone 
. Amazon’s streaming devices use Fire OS, which is basically built on Android, so no extra apps needed! 
I’ve broken down the process into two simple sections:
1. On Your Fire Stick: 
First up, you’ll need to enable the Mirroring setting on your Fire Stick. Here’s how:
- Either head to the Fire TV Stick’s settings (look for the gear icon on the far right of the screen) or hold down the Select button until a menu pops up.
- Your Fire TV should show a mirroring tile. Click on it to enable the feature.
- Now your Fire TV Stick is ready to connect with your Android phone!
2. On Your Android Device: 
Steps might slightly vary depending on your phone model, but here’s the gist:
- Go to Settings > Connected devices > Cast on your Android phone.
- If you’ve enabled Mirroring on the Fire TV, it will appear here. If not, click on the vertical dots in the top-right corner and ensure Enable wireless display is checked.
- Tap your Fire TV, and boom, you’re mirroring your Android screen to the TV!
Pro tip: If you have a Samsung phone, you can use the Smart View feature in the notifications bar. Super easy! 
How to Mirror Your Mac to an Amazon Firestick 
For all you Mac users trying to get Amazon Fire TV screen mirroring to work, you’ll need an app called AirScreen. This app turns your Fire Stick into an AirPlay receiver. Here’s what you need to do:
- Download and launch AirScreen on your Fire Stick. You’ll see a QR code that you can scan with your phone if you want to.
- In the AirScreen main menu, the name of the AirPlay receiver will show up. You can rename it in the app settings if you like.
- On your Mac, open the Control Center from the main menu and click on Screen Mirroring. Select your Fire Stick from the list, and you’re good to go!
If it’s still not working, go back to AirScreen settings and ensure AirPlay is enabled.
