Mirroring the screen of an Apple device to a computer has its advantages, and the best part is that you can easily record screen recordings or present an iOS device to a projector during a meeting. We have shared some free methods, using this method can cast Android screen to Windows PC and they are really helpful.
Today, I will talk about two ways you can mirror your iPhone or any iOS screen to your Windows PC. While there are many apps available like Mirroring360 and Reflector 2 for screen mirroring, they cost around US$14.99, which is a bit higher.
To save you some money, I’m going to share two free third-party apps that you can use to mirror your iOS device’s screen using a built-in service called AirPlay mirroring.

But don’t worry, I’ll show you step-by-step instructions to download the app and run it on your AirPlay-enabled iOS mobile device. The second tool is in English but lacks some features found on iTools. Either way, however, you are free to make the decision.

1. iTools AirPlayer
Although iTools is a complete iPhone management application available in both Chinese and English, we will only use a standalone program called Airplayer. All you need to do is follow the next steps and you should be able to connect everything.
Step 1: Download the Airplayer file from the iTools website. This page is in Chinese and so using a translator could be a good option. You can click the download button at the top or use this direct link to download the Airplayer zip file on your computer.
Step 2: After the file is downloaded, open Airplayer.zip and extract the executable to a folder and run it.
Step 3: The file is portable in nature and, therefore, does not require installation of any kind. The first thing you will be asked about your iOS version. Click on the appropriate iOS version you are running on your iPhone and continue.
Step 4: When you start the app for the first time, it will give you instructions in Chinese. Just keep clicking the Next button to complete the welcome note. During this process, you may be asked to allow the application to access through the firewall depending on the security software you are using on your PC. Accept that and proceed.
Step 5: After setting up iTools Airplayer, it’s time to make a connection from your iOS Device. Make sure your iOS device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network and open the control center. If all goes well, you should be able to see an AirPlay option next to AirDrop.
Step 6: Click on the Airplay button and you will have the option to connect to iTools. Also, make sure you enable Mirroring option and tap Done.
That’s it, now you will be able to view your iPhone screen on your computer through iTools. Now you can make everything full screen and project it, or use the record button to make a screen recording.
iTools is clean to use and free of any spyware or adware. However, if you prefer to use a Chinese tool and you just want to mirror the iOS screen without any advanced options, you can try LonelyScreen.
