How do I ban Airplay to specific devices?

[MacBH928]

So all ios devices can airplay to all types of devices and I do not want to accidentally send my screen to a device in the house, even worse sometimes it "auto connects" . My family could be watching tv in the living room and suddenly my iphone screen is on there. I once lost audio and found out it was playing on another speaker in the house.

is there an opposite way where you can incoming streaming from the devices itself like TV's or other Macs , etc?

Stream video automatically from iPhone or iPad​

Depending on your AirPlay & Handoff settings, your iPhone or iPad can suggest or automatically connect to devices you regularly use with AirPlay.
To adjust your AirPlay & Handoff settings:

1. Go to Settings on your iPhone or iPad with the latest version of iOS.
2. Tap General.
3. Tap AirPlay & Handoff, then tap Automatically AirPlay.
   
   
4. Choose a setting.
   • Never: Manually choose a device for AirPlay.
   • Ask: Get suggested AirPlay connection notifications. Tap the suggested AirPlay connection notification to make the connection, or dismiss or ignore it and manually choose a different device for AirPlay.
   • Automatic: Get suggested and automatic AirPlay connection notifications. Dismiss or ignore the automatic AirPlay connection notification, then tap play in the app you are using to use the connection. Or tap the undo button
     
     to quickly disconnect and manually choose a different device for AirPlay.

great thanks.

i was hoping for a complete ban for specific devices, as in "never airplay to this device"

nah, not possible. Apple is not great in keeping things that private - e.g. no multiple accounts on ipads, no restriction of folder access in the files app, no banning of certain sites in the browser’s suggested view. Better to watch porn when everybody else is sleeping.

You can't ban AirPlay to specific devices, but there are some things you can do to help prevent accidental AirPlaying.

• Configure the TV/speakers to only allow AirPlay from devices on the same network.
  • When you don't want to accidentally AirPlay, disconnect your phone from the network (or connect to a different one) and those AirPlay devices won't show up anymore.
• Configure the devices to require a passcode.
  • The TV screen or speakers will present a passcode that needs to be entered before connecting each time.
• Disable AirPlay on the TV/speakers if it isn't needed/used.

its not just porn. All kind of things can pass around, audio files, zoom chats, private conversations, your phone camera. You never know what goes on the other screen
