If you find yourself in a situation where you need to disconnect from AirPlay, whether it’s because you no longer need to mirror your screen or you simply want to stop streaming audio or video, the process is relatively straightforward.
One of the simplest ways to disconnect from AirPlay is by going back to Control Center on your device. This can be done by swiping down on the upper-right corner of the screen for newer iPhone models or by swiping up from the bottom of the screen for older models.
Once you’re in Control Center, you’ll see various icons, one of which is the Screen Mirroring icon. Simply tap on this icon to access the list of AirPlay-enabled devices that are available on your home network.
After tapping on the Screen Mirroring icon, a list of devices will appear on your screen. Look for the device you are currently connected to and tap on the option that allows you to stop screen mirroring.
By selecting the option to stop screen mirroring, you will effectively disconnect from AirPlay and stop mirroring your screen to the selected device. This will return your device’s display to its normal state.
Alternatively, if you are streaming audio or video content via AirPlay, you can also disconnect by accessing the app or media player that you are using to stream content. Look for the AirPlay icon within the app and select the option to stop streaming to AirPlay.
Disconnecting from AirPlay can also be done by directly interacting with the AirPlay-enabled device itself. For example, if you’re streaming content to an Apple TV, you can use the remote control to navigate to the AirPlay settings and select the option to disconnect.
It’s worth noting that once you disconnect from AirPlay, your device will no longer be mirrored or streaming content to the selected device. This means that any audio, video, or screen mirroring activity will come to a halt.
If you frequently use AirPlay for various tasks such as screen mirroring or streaming media, familiarizing yourself with the process of disconnecting can help you seamlessly transition between different devices and activities.
Overall, disconnecting from AirPlay is a simple and quick process that can be done through Control Center, app interfaces, or directly on the AirPlay-enabled device itself. By following these steps, you can easily switch between different devices and end your AirPlay sessions whenever needed.
