Can You AirPlay Mirror One iPhone to Another?

Speaking of screen sharing, many Apple users may first think of AirPlay, the dedicated technology for content streaming and mirroring. So, is AirPlay feasible to share screen from one iPhone to another?

AirPlay itself only supports streaming or mirroring from an iPhone to Apple TVs, compatible smart TV, and Mac.

Then, how can you mirror an iPhone to another iPhone? Try these four methods.

Method 1: Use Facetime

FaceTime is the best solution to screen share iPhone to iPhone because it's pre-installed and 100% free to use.

How to screen share from iPhone to iPhone with FaceTime?

Step 1. Open the FaceTime app > New FaceTime > Add Contacts. Now tap the icon to start a video call.

Step 2. Tap the Share button at the top.

Step 3. Then, tap Share My Screen.

Method 2: Use ApowerMirror

ApowerMirror is a popular screen mirroring app that works well between mobile devices, including iPhone to iPhone, Android to Android, and iPhone to Android.

Quite powerful, isn't it? And the steps to use it are easy.

To stop mirroring, tap the red status bar at the top > stop broadcasting.

Method 3: Use AirDroid Cast
