Note: Both your phone and Roku must be connected to the same WiFi network for mirroring to work.
iPhone mirroring to Roku requires a third party app because Apple AirPlay only works natively with Apple TV, not Roku. Use the Mirror for Roku app available on the App Store.
- Download Mirror for Roku from the App Store on your iPhone.
- Open the app and select your Roku TV from the list.
- Install MovieBox IPA on your iPhone using AltStore or Feather. Full steps at our MovieBox iOS guide.
