Screen mirroring is a powerful feature that allows you to display the content of your Apple device on a larger screen, such as a TV or a computer monitor. This can be particularly useful for presentations, watching videos, or playing games on a bigger display. In the Apple ecosystem, screen mirroring is seamlessly integrated with features like AirPlay, making it easy to share your screen with compatible devices. This article will guide you through the steps to enable and use screen mirroring on various Apple devices, ensuring you can make the most out of this functionality.
Examples:

- Swipe down from the upper-right corner of the screen to open the Control Center.
- Tap on "Screen Mirroring" or the AirPlay icon.
