You’re correct that there’s no app specifically called ‘Chromecast’ on the App Store. Instead, you need to use the Google Home app. With Google Home, you can set up and manage your Chromecast. It might not seem obvious at first, but once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty straightforward.
Here’s what you need to do:
- Download the Google Home app from the App Store.
- Open the app and set up a home.
- Tap the + button and then ‘Set up device’.
- Follow the prompts to connect your iPhone to the Chromecast.
One thing to keep in mind is that not all apps are compatible with Chromecast. If you’re looking to cast content from specific apps, you’ll need to make sure they support it. Most major streaming apps like Netflix, YouTube, and Spotify do, so you should be covered there.
If you’re interested in screen mirroring or casting content that isn’t natively supported by Chromecast (like games or some other apps), you might want to check out the DoCast Screen Mirroring app. DoCast allows you to mirror your iPhone’s screen to your TV using Chromecast. It’s handy for things like presentations or apps that don’t have native Chromecast support. You can find more information and download it from their official site here: Official DoCast App.
Anyone else have tips for setting up Chromecast with an iPhone?
