Guide to Mirroring iPhone Screen to PC for Free

Do you want to mirror your iPhone screen to your PC for free? Mirroring your phone screen to a larger display can enhance productivity and entertainment. This article covers multiple methods to achieve this without incurring extra costs.

1. Using AirPlay (Built-in Feature)

AirPlay is a built-in feature in iOS that allows users to stream live video, photos, and audio to supported devices. Here's how to do it:

Open your iPhone and swipe up from the bottom of the screen to access the Control Center. Tap Screen Mirroring or AirPlay (these options may vary). Select your PC from the list of available devices. If prompted, enter the AirPlay code displayed on your PC. Your iPhone screen should now be mirrored on your PC. For a smooth experience, ensure your PC has a compatible receiver, such as AirServer, which can be downloaded for free.

Note that this method requires your PC to support AirPlay. Programs like AirServer can serve as a receiver without the need for additional hardware.

2. Third-Party Software (MirrorTo and Reflector)

For a more seamless experience, consider using third-party software:

Download and install MirrorTo or Reflector. These programs can mirror your iPhone screen to your PC over a Wi-Fi network. Ensure both your iPhone and PC are connected to the same WiFi network. Open the software on your PC and iPhone, and follow the on-screen instructions to mirror your screen.

3. Free Desktop Programs (LetsView and Mirroid)

There are also free desktop programs that allow you to mirror your iPhone screen to a PC:

LetsView: Download and install LetsView on both your PC and iPhone. Open LetsView on your iPhone and select the same WiFi network as your PC. Open the Control Center on your iPhone and tap Screen Mirroring. Choose the name of your computer. Your iPhone screen should now be mirrored on your PC. Mirroid: Ensure your phone is in landscape mode. Set your phone screen mirroring tool to full screen mode.

4. Scrcpy for Android Users

For Android users, consider using Scrcpy:

Download and unzip Scrcpy from GitHub on your PC. Open the Scrcpy .bat file to start the screen mirroring process. Enable USB Debugging on your phone. Double-click on the Scrcpy .bat file. Your Android phone screen will be mirrored to your PC with input support. If you prefer a wireless connection, you can set up ADB over WiFi or Bluetooth, though this may introduce latency.

Mirroring your iPhone or Android device to a PC for free is possible through built-in features and third-party software. Choose the method that best suits your needs and enjoy a seamless experience with your larger display.
