Being able to wirelessly screen mirror your iPhone to your Sharp TV would save you from having a clutter of wires around your living space or workspace.

However, it only works with some Sharp TV models - Sharp Roku TV (2T-C45CF2UR, 4T-C60CL2UR). So if you own one of these AirPlay-compatible Sharp TVs, follow these steps:

- Step 3.Choose your Sharp Roku TV from the device list.

Finally, your iPhone screen will be mirrored to the Sharp TV.
Way 2: Connect iPhone to Sharp TV Using Digital AV Adapter
If your Sharp TV doesn't support AirPlay, don't worry. You can still rely on the good old wired way to screen mirror your iPhone to your Sharp TV. Unquestionably, this method is also much faster than most software which is a hassle to install and configure.
Most Sharp TVs have an HDMI port, but the iPhone uses the Apple lightning port. Therefore, you can use an Apple Digital AV adapter.
Here is how to screen mirror iPhone to Sharp TV with HDMI:
- Step 1.Ensure that you have the Apple Digital AV Adapter.
- Step 2.Connect the HDMI cable of your sharp TV to one end of the adapter.
- Step 3.Connect the charging port of your iPhone to the other end of the adapter.
