Can You AirPlay to Firestick

Using an Apple TV streaming device will allow you to use the AirPlay feature, but you can’t technically AirPlay to Firestick. There are workarounds though.

AirPlay is a proprietary feature that’s only available for Apple devices and a handful of Apple-certified third-party devices. Because of that, it cannot be used directly with the Fire Stick. However, third-party apps can be installed and used as the middleman (so to speak) to use Airplay on your Firestick.

Some of these third-party apps are free to use or require payment, so always proceed with caution and look at the reviews. Something to note is that using one of these apps to mirror your phone isn’t quite the same as AirPlay. The picture quality, for instance, may not be the same.

All of that being said, here are some app recommendations (free to use and install, offers in-app purchases) :

• TV Cast for Fire TV Stick
• ApowerMirror
• Screen Mirroring – TV Cast
• iWebTV

What Can I Watch On Apple TV+ with Amazon Fire Stick?

We’ve mentioned that Apple TV+ stands out from other streaming apps because it’s centered around new, original TV shows and movies rather than the myriad of third-party content. Not that the other streaming services don’t offer originals (of course we know they do), but in Apple’s case it’s their primary focus.

As an example, here are some standout shows and movies that may catch your attention:

• The Problem with Jon Stewart (ex-Daily Show host)
• Central Park (co-created by Loren Bouchard, creator of Bob’s Burgers)
• The Shrink Next Door (starring Paul Rudd, and Will Ferrell)
• Snoopy in Space: The Search for Life
• Finch, Greyhound (starring Tom Hanks)
• The Morning Show (with Jennifer Aniston & Reese Witherspoon)
• CODA (winner of 3 Oscars -starring Emilia Jones, Marlee Matlin, Eugenio Derbez)
