I have Alexa Firestick connected to my Smart Samsung TV. My Samsung TV does not support Airplay. By downloading and installing suitable apps for Firestick TV I can use Airplay and send contents from my iPhone 12 to Samsung TV via Firestick. I have tried some free apps to do so but they do not work. I would be grateful if you could recommend Free Apps or Paid Apps which help to connect via Airplay to my Samsung TV and play contents from my iPhone.
 
I have tried all the free apps. They all are flawed in some way. I purchased an app called AirReciever for 2.99. It works well including casting a stream from my phone to the fire stick. I also was able to stream from a VR headset to the fire stick. I am slightly annoyed I have to purchase this feature, but it does work.

Thanka for your reply. Is $ 2.99 a subscription price or a one-time price to buy the software?
 
Thank you for recommending AirReceiver. I have purchased it and it turned my old Samsung TV into an Airplay receiver at a one-time payment cost of less than 3 Dollars. Again, thank for your recommendations.

I have the same situation.
I'm glad to hear that AirReceiver worked out for you. It's great when a cost-effective solution meets our tech needs without hassle. It's also useful to know that it functions well with a variety of devices, adding to its versatility. This kind of user feedback is invaluable for others facing similar dilemmas. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I recently installed a receiver as well and it worked but soon I saw a blue light on the firestick like I had never seen before. That made me suspicious so I had to surf the web a little and found this article https://watchbingerepeat.com/blue-light-on-firestick-remote/. Thank god these were just old batteries and nothing serious.
