★ Basic Requirements to Enable iOS 15/14/13 AirPlay:
The two devices you want them to communicate with each other should support Apple AirPlay protocol, of course. Also, make sure that you have updated the software on the two devices to the latest iOS 15/14/13, like your iPhone 12, 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, iPad Pro, Apple TV, etc.
If all of the above requirements have been satisfied, but iOS 15/14/13 not mirroring problem still exists, try the following methods:
1. Reboot rooter of your device, reset the network and turn off the Bluetooth.
2. Check all the devices are on the same WiFi network.
3. Make sure your iOS 15/14/13 device is near the device you try to screen mirroring to.

As for iPad models, we are not sure if all of the iPads will support AirPlay mirroring iOS 15/14/13 as the new operating system for iPads is named iPadOS.
