You can usually tell if your phone is screen mirroring by looking for visual cues on both your phone and the connected device.
Visual Cues on Your Phone:
- Mirroring Icon: Many phones display a dedicated icon in the notification bar or control center when screen mirroring is active. This icon often resembles a rectangular box with an arrow pointing outwards.
- Screen Brightness: The screen brightness on your phone might dim slightly during mirroring, as the phone is sending its display content to another screen.
Visual Cues on the Connected Device:
- Mirrored Display: The connected device, like a TV or computer monitor, will show a mirrored image of your phone's screen.
- Mirroring App: If you're using a specific app for screen mirroring, the app's interface might display a confirmation message or status indicator that indicates mirroring is active.
Other Ways to Check:
- Check Connection: If you're using a wireless connection, you can check your phone's Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings to see if it's connected to the device you're trying to mirror to.
- Check Sound: You might hear audio from your phone playing on the connected device if mirroring is working.
If you're unsure if your phone is screen mirroring, you can try disconnecting the connection and checking for any changes on both your phone and the connected device.
