How I cracked connecting my phone to my smart TV

After struggling with cables and apps, I finally cracked how to connect my phone to my smart TV seamlessly. Using Wi-Fi-based screen mirroring like Miracast, Google Cast, or AirPlay, I mirrored my phone display without extra hardware. I enabled the cast/screen share option on my Android/iPhone and selected my smart TV from the available devices. Apps like YouTube, Netflix, and Spotify support direct casting, while tools like Smart View or Google Home made the process effortless. Now I can stream videos, view photos, and play music from my phone with zero hassle—no HDMI cables needed!
