Screen mirroring is a lie. Are there any apps that allow real screen mirroring? By which I mean that no matter what is on your phone it will be mirrored along with sound to your tv. This is not what “screen mirroring” does either with Apple TV or Samsung smart TV’s. Yes it will mirror your home screen and you searching around your phone, but any video streaming app doesn’t actually mirror your phone. It just makes a separate connection to the service from the TV. So if your TV does not have access to a certain service you can’t watch content, even if you can watch it on your phone. In fact, even when your tv has actually does have access to Netflix, sometimes attempting mirroring from your phone brings up a message saying to please use the app on the TV instead. Therefore “screen mirroring” when it comes to streaming apps is a lie. If you connect a laptop to a tv with hdmi that is actual screen mirroring. Anything less is a misnomer.
