Want the games, photos, and videos on your iPhone blown up on your big screen? Sometimes called “mirroring,” you can cast your iPhone’s screen to your Amazon Fire TV device using a free app. Here’s how to do it.

To see your iPhone screen’s content on your TV, you’ll use a free (with ads) app called AirScreen on your Fire TV. There are other apps that can do it, but AirScreen is one of the most popular. The app is available on the official Amazon Appstore, so you won’t have to jailbreak your Fire TV before downloading or installing it.

Once the AirScreen app is installed, you’ll use your iPhone’s AirPlay feature to send your screen content to your Fire TV. And that’s how it all works.
