MILLIONS of iPhone owners are getting an update that's useful for traveling.
IHG Hotels and Resorts will be bringing Apple AirPlay capabilities to select locations.
That means guests of certain IGH Hotels will be able to cast their favorite content from their iPhones to the TV.
Some hotels only offer Chromecast support and this can be frustrating for iPhone owners who want to screencast to the TV.
It's now possible to use AirPlay in over 60 IGH Hotels in North America.
More locations will get TVs upgraded with the feature in the coming months.
“Users can automatically connect to the compatible LG hotel TV in their guest room and the hotel’s Wi-Fi network by scanning a unique QR code on the screen.
"Once connected, guests can share almost anything on the big screen in their hotel room directly from their iPhone or iPad.
"Guests can also pair multiple devices to the TV, so friends and loved ones traveling together can also enjoy," Apple said in a statement.
To use AirPlay in the hotels you'll need an iPhone XS or later.
The iPhone will also need to be updated with iOS 17.3 or later.
You'll also be able to use AirPlay on certain iPads.
More information about the specific devices can be found on IHG's website.
To start using AirPlay make sure your iPhone is connected to the same Wi-Fi as the smart TV you plan to stream content on.
Find the content you want to stream on your iPhone and then tap the AirPlay button.
It looks a bit like a TV, you might have to tap the share button to find the AirPlay option.
Once you've clicked AirPlay a list of devices will pop up.
Select the device on which you want the content to appear.
Your two devices should now be synced and you can play the content.
Once you're done, click the AirPlay button on your iPhone again and end the session.
Here are some of the best...
