Screen mirror stuck on loading and won’t open the available device menu

screen mirroring wont open device menu, when I click on the screen mirror icon it just says loading. I’ve done all the trouble shooting I can do.

Please try and force restart the iPhone to see if the issues persist


  1. Press and quickly release the volume up button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume down button.
  3. Press and hold the side button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the side button.

Same exact thing. iPhone 18 pro max. iOS up to date. Cannot get the airplay mirroring to work at all from control panel screen. Have googled everything under the sun and even did the forced restart suggestion. Still when you click it it just spins and says Loading.
