How to Disable AirPlay on an iPhone Lock Screen

AirPlay is a feature of Apple devices, such as iPhones and iPads, that allows users to stream audio and video content to other AirPlay-enabled devices. One way to use AirPlay is via the lock screen on an iPhone, which can be convenient if you want to quickly stream something to a nearby speaker system or other device. However, if you’d rather not have AirPlay available on your lock screen, you can disable it. Here are the steps you need to take to do so.

Step 1: Open the Settings App

The first step is to open the Settings app on your iPhone. This can be done by tapping the Settings icon, which looks like a gear, on your home screen or in the app drawer.

Step 2: Scroll Down and Tap “Control Center”

Once the Settings app is open, scroll down to the bottom of the list and tap on “Control Center.” This will take you to the Control Center settings page.

Step 3: Tap “Customize Controls”

On the Control Center settings page, you’ll want to tap on “Customize Controls.” This will take you to the list of controls you can add or remove from the Control Center.

Step 4: Tap the “AirPlay” Option

Scroll down the list until you find the “AirPlay” option. Tap on it to open its settings.

Step 5: Toggle the “Allow on Lock Screen” Option Off

Once you’ve opened the AirPlay settings, you’ll see an option that says “Allow on Lock Screen.” Toggle this option off. This will disable AirPlay on the lock screen of your iPhone.

Step 6: Close the Settings App

Once you’ve toggled the “Allow on Lock Screen” option off, you can close the Settings app. AirPlay will no longer be available on your lock screen.

Disabling AirPlay on the lock screen of your iPhone is a fairly simple process. By following the steps outlined above, you can easily prevent AirPlay from appearing on your lock screen. This can help you ensure that your device is secure and that you don’t accidentally stream something to an unintended recipient.
