How to use AirPlay to stream HBO Max on your TV from an iPhone or iPad

• You can use AirPlay to put HBO Max on your TV, but you'll need to have an Apple TV or AirPlay functionality built into your TV.
• Ensure your Apple TV or smart TV has AirPlay turned on, and that your iPhone or iPad with HBO Max is connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

But if you have an Apple TV or a smart TV with AirPlay built into it, you can stream HBO Max from your iPhone or iPad to your television.

Here's how.
