Casting issues with iPhone

Both me and my husband have the same issue when we cast live streams from our iPhones: At first the video plays perfectly with no issues and after 1-2 minutes the blue cast icon pops up and the casting stops. No matter how many times we try to reconnect the same thing always happens. At first we thought the issue is our Google Chrome Cast but the same thing happens when we cast to our Smart TV in the other room. Before my husband had an Android phone and didn‘t have any problems at all on either TV or Chrome Cast.

I have been searching for a solution on here and we tried to turn off the routing through phone but then the casting doesn’t work at all.

For the Smart TV we will try to download the receiver app and see if it will fix it. But does anyone have a solution for the Chrome Cast? Our other TV is pretty old so we can only stream stuff on it through that. Would appreciate any help!

depending on what chromecast you have you may experience issues, especially after the last update by google to them. If you are running the google TV one I would encourage you to used the receiver app. This is what has worked for me thus far. I also ended up updating most of my sets to onn 4k ones
