Screen mirror iPad via AirPlay on iPadOS 18
Step 1 – Connect to a network
Make sure the iPad and the device you’re trying to wirelessly AirPlay mirror to are connected to the same wifi network.
Step 2 – Open Control Center
Swipe down from the top-right corner of your iPad screen to open Control Center.
Step 3 – Tap the Screen Mirroring icon
Tap the AirPlay screen mirroring icon. It’s the icon with two overlapping rectangles. The icon may also say “Screen Mirroring” if it’s large enough.
If you don’t see it, you may need to add or rearrange the options in Control Center. You can access customization options by doing a long press in an empty space in Control Center.
Step 4 – Select destination device
A list of available AirPlay receivers on your network will appear. Select the one you want to share wirelessly to. Approve permissions if prompted.
Note: You may have to enter an on-screen code if your destination device has AirPlay security settings enabled.
Congrats! You’re now wirelessly mirroring your iPad to another screen. To stop mirroring, simply open Control Center, tap the screen mirroring icon and select “Stop Mirroring.”
