AirPlay broken in IOS 18?

I did this and it didn't work. Everything was fine until the 18.1.1 update. Now my iPhone13 will not connect to my TV. Please help.

I tried this and it still didn't work. Only way it is working is clicking on the mirroring phone icon. It stop working after IOS 18 update

After iOS 18 loaded Air Play doesn’t work. My Samsung smart TV nor my Roku Ultra are displayed even though they are on the same WiFi.

I had the same issue with airplay devices not showing up when trying to use airplay after update to IOS 18.x. Following conversation with Apple Support I was advised to reset network settings in the Settings> General > Transfer or REset [Device] > Reset > Reset Network Settings. I then re-connected to the home wifi and airplay started to work as before.

This also resolved the issue with Apple Music not starting following the update.

My FIX: I did the Network reset and wish I hadn’t. All my known WiFi and passwords are now gone and it didn’t fix the problem.

my issue was airplay connectivity to Sonos and IKEA Sonos speakers after iOS 18.1.1 installation on my iPhone 15.

It appeared that the Sonos app was fighting for access with iTunes. So then I tried an iPad with iOS 16 and it crashed and showed the Apple sign rebooting.

THE FIX for me was to unplug my speakers from the wall for a few minutes then one by one plug each back in so they could get new IP addresses. Now Airplay works again. And the Sonos app is talking to iTunes and showing content and what speakers are playing.

I’m on iOS 18.2 release as well and have the same problem. Tried Reset Network settings - same problem.

Hope this is not Apple’s attempt to get AirPlay device manufacturers to pay another license fee for 18.2 support.

My soundbar is the Sony HT-5000.

I'm on 18.2 did the network reset, but didn't solve the pb with Marantz AVR

Finally solved resetting network, just google your AVR model and reset network settings, for a marantz cinema it’s holding dimmer and tuner preset CH- for 3 seconds…

Just tried this and it failed to work.

Has anyone else come up with an alternate solution?

I tried the fix szaitsev suggested. It did not work with my Dennon system through Control4. Anyone else find something that does work?

Has anyone tried 18.2 to see if it helps on this?

Does not work for me as well after updating 18.1.1

Now i cannot connect to my phone to my tv, else it connects and disconnects after 10 seconds. Both Screen mirroring and air play are the same.

Network reset did not work.

Any other option?

I’m a non-techie septegenarin, and, while using Apple since a 1988 Mac Plus and a Beta user, I’m new this month to AirPlay, HomePods and Apple TV (freestanding HDMI unit to plasma TV). The whole works were randomly disconnecting, especially when I rent a room away from the base Pod. Even the iPhone 16 on 18.3 was disconnecting from my Wi-Fi, while my MacBook & security base were staying WiFi-connected. Pausing the phone VPN didn’t help. Finally took the phone WiFi setting off of Rotating and returned it to Fixed. Didn’t even have to reboot the phone, just restarted the media I’d been playing through 2 HomePods & the Apple TV unit. After several indecisive minutes of iOS attempting reconnections, the setup came back online: so far, so good.
