iPad Gets Hot While Airplay Is On

My younger son noticed that his iPad was getting quite hot while he was streaming content to his Apple TV which he had been playing for around 45 minutes.

He was also quite annoyed that he could not view other content from his iPad while streaming like he used to with Google Chromecast.

Once he closed out of Plex or multi tasked to another app the video would stop.

He was using Plex to stream a movie, usually once you select the device to stream to in Plex, it then streams directly to the device without the need for it to be always on.

I realized that he had Airplay Mirroring on.

Whew you airplay directly from the Plex app it does not tell you that you are mirrored.

Time to turn it OFF

Swipe from the bottom and upwards of your iPad/ iPhone, select Airplay, then turn OFF airplay mirroring.

  

No more Hot devices.
