Screen mirroring on the RealMe 16 is meant to make sharing your screen fast and effortless, whether you are watching videos or giving a presentation. When it suddenly stops working, the feature can feel unreliable and frustrating. Most of the time, the problem is caused by connection settings, compatibility issues, or temporary system glitches that are easy to fix.
Why Your RealMe 16 Screen Mirroring Is Not Working
- The phone and the TV or receiver are not connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
- Screen mirroring permissions are disabled or restricted.
- The receiving device does not support Miracast or wireless display.
- Battery or power saving features are limiting background connections.
- Temporary system bugs affecting wireless services.
Restart Both Devices
Wireless display services rely on stable background processes. Restarting both devices refreshes these services and clears minor connection glitches that can block screen mirroring.
Swipe down from the top of the screen to open Quick Settings, and then tap the Power icon.
Tap Restart, and then wait for the RealMe 16 to boot back up.
Restart your TV or wireless display device as well before testing again.
Make Sure Both Devices Are on the Same Wi-Fi Network
Screen mirroring only works when both devices are connected to the same network. Even small differences, such as using mobile data on one device, can prevent detection.
Open Settings, and then tap Wi-Fi.
Connect to the same Wi-Fi network used by your TV or display device.
Once connected, try enabling screen mirroring again.
Enable Screen Mirroring from Quick Settings
Screen mirroring must be manually turned on before your phone can search for nearby displays. If it is disabled, the RealMe 16 will not scan for any devices.
Swipe down from the top to open Quick Settings, and then swipe down again to expand it.
Tap Screen Cast or Screen Mirroring, and then allow the phone to search for devices.
Select your TV or display when it appears.
Turn Off Battery or Power Saving Mode
Power saving features can limit wireless connections to conserve battery. This often causes screen mirroring to fail or disconnect unexpectedly.
Open Settings, and then tap Battery.
Tap Power saving mode, and then switch it off.
Return to Screen Mirroring and test the connection again.
Check Compatibility of the Receiving Device
Not all TVs and displays support Miracast or Android screen mirroring. If the device is incompatible, the RealMe 16 will not detect it.
Check your TV or receiver settings, and then look for Wireless Display or Miracast support.
Enable the feature if available, and then retry screen mirroring from your phone.
If unsupported, consider using a Chromecast or HDMI adapter.
Reset Network Settings
Corrupted Wi-Fi or wireless settings can block screen mirroring entirely. Resetting network settings restores default connections without deleting personal data.
Open Settings, and then tap Additional settings.
Tap Back up and reset, and then choose Reset network settings.
Reconnect to Wi-Fi and test screen mirroring again.
Screen mirroring issues on the RealMe 16 are usually easy to resolve once the correct settings are in place. After refreshing connections and confirming compatibility, the feature should work smoothly again.
FAQs
Why does my RealMe 16 not find my TV when screen mirroring is on?
This usually happens when both devices are not on the same Wi-Fi network or when the TV does not support Miracast. Ensuring compatibility and matching networks fixes this.
Can I use screen mirroring over mobile data?
No. Screen mirroring requires a shared Wi-Fi connection. Mobile data alone will not allow your phone to detect nearby displays.
Why does screen mirroring disconnect after a few minutes?
Battery saving features or weak Wi-Fi signals often cause random disconnections. Turning off power saving and using a stable network helps prevent this.
