Using your iPhone to cast to your TV
Got an iPhone and a NOW Smart Stick or Box? You can use your iPhone to play your favourite movies, shows and sports and watch on your TV.
How do I cast to my TV using my iPhone?
Step 1:
Before you start, make sure your iPhone and NOW Smart Stick or Box are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Open the NOW app on your iPhone and tap the NOW device icon at the top of the screen.
Don’t have the NOW app on your iPhone? Head to the App Store and search for the NOW app, then download it and sign in.
Step 2:
Select the name of the NOW Smart Stick or Box you want to connect to.
If you've got more than one NOW Smart Stick or Box in your home, just check the last 4 digits on the bottom of your device to make sure you connect to the right one.
Step 3:
You’ll see a message confirming you’re connected to your NOW device.
Now just find what you want to watch, and hit play. Select Watch on TV, and then sit back, relax and enjoy the action on your big screen.
Step 4:
Want to use your iPhone as a remote too? Just hit Show remote at the bottom of your screen to turn your iPhone into a remote.
