Apple Airplay on iPad

[Caissa]

I have iPad 8th generation with IOS 18.6.2. What generation iPad do I need for Apple Airplay?
I want to connect and mirror to my smart TV.

Thank.
Johanna

You’re good to go. Pull down the menu from the upper right corner of your screen. Tap on this icon:

…and select a device.

Pull down what menu?

Swipe down from the top right edge of the screen. The swipe starts at the bezel, before the screen actually starts.

I don't have I don't have Airplay icon on my iPad. Swiping doesn't achieve anything. What model do I need to get Airplay?

Your iPadOS version should be new enough. Screen Mirroring (the video version of AirPlay) is what you are trying to do.

Keep in mind, not all smart TV's support AirPlay. If it's a newer model it probably does, but you should check the TV manual to be sure.

For the menu, go to Setting > Control Center. Make sure Access Within Apps is turned on, otherwise you can only pull the menu down when on a Home Screen. You can also confiture what is in the Control Center here.

Once you pull down the Control Center, tap-hold on a blank area (no control or button) until it goes into edit mode. Choose Add a Control to find and add the Screen Mirroring button. Assuming it is not there.

In iPadOS 18, adding the buttons might still be in the Control Center settings instead of how I just described then. I'm not certain when that changed.

Thanks, twerp, for detailed reply. We're making progress. I got to Control Center. Tap/hold blank area does not bring into edit mode. Also "Customize Control Center" is grayed out. Should I Reset Control Center?

You can add items to the Control Centre by tapping the + sign top left. You will see “Add a control” at the bottom.

Tapping plus sigh doesn't give option of adding Airplay. Back to original question: what generation of iPad do I need for Airplay?
