For those who are unfamiliar, AirPlay is Apple’s way of sharing and streaming content from one device to another. If you own an iPhone and any other Apple device, you can use AirPlay to share what you’re viewing including photos, videos, music, and any other supported content from your iPhone onto the other device wirelessly. The devices you can share can be anything from an iPhone, iPad, Mac to an Apple TV, or any other supported gadget.
Not just for viewing content, but also listening to music, and sharing content with others, this feature is native to all Apple devices. You can use Apple’s AirPlay with any other compatible device.
Chromecast is similar to AirPlay except it is a Google Device. Unfortunately, the two aren’t openly compatible with one another. But that’s ok, because we can still use AirPlay with a Chromecast device.
