Mirror For Samsung TV App Requirements & Limitations
mirror for samsung tv app compatibility issue– The procedure is quite resource-intensive thus the feature will work only on modern iPhone and iPad models. First of all, your Apple device has to run iOS 11 or later. Secondly, you have to own an iPhone 6S or newer. When it comes to iPads, any iPad Pro will work as well as all iPads from the 5th generation onwards.
Fact: If you get the “This app requires specific features not available on this device.” message, on the app’s App Store download page, as shown in the image nearby, it means that your iPhone / iPad isn’t compatible.
– Compatibility has to come from the Samsung TV side too. The Mirror for Samsung TV app works with any TV manufactured in 2012 or newer. To verify if your TV is compatible check the model number available on the back of your device. The middle letter hints the production year as follows: E (2012), F (2013), H(2014), J (2015), K(2016), M (2017). For example the code UE78_H_U8500L is available for a 2014 Samsung TV model.
– Audio Limitations: There is no audio available when you try to mirror from Safari on iPhone / iPad. More, audio also stops if you switch between iOS apps when mirroring. This means that you have to open the app before you start mirroring if you want to hear the sound too!
– DRM Limitations: Apps like Netflix are protected by the Digital Rights Management system for copyright infringement. In this case your Samsung TV’s screen will turn black until you switch for an allowed app.

Update: Now you can also mirror your iPhone / iPad to LG TV!
