You can use AirPlay to stream content to your Roku from an Apple device.
AirPlay and Roku are compatible on most media apps, like Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Spotify, Apple Music, and more.
Before you use AirPlay, make sure your Apple device and Roku device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and check that your Roku TV has AirPlay turned on.

AirPlay, a useful casting feature on Apple products, allows you to cast media from your Apple device to many different Roku models. That means that you can display videos, photos, and other media on your TV, even if the casting feature isn't working or isn't available.
Not every Roku device supports AirPlay. If you want to use it, you'll need a supported model:
Roku TV models Axxxx, Cxxxx, CxxGB, or 7xxxx
Streambar model 9102
Smart Soundbar models 9100 or 9101
Roku Ultra models 4640, 4660, 4662, 4661, 4670, or 4800
Roku Premiere models 3820, 4620, or 4630
Streaming Stick models 3810 or 3811
Of course, you'll also need an Apple device that supports AirPlay, which is any iPhone, iPad, or iTouch running iOS 12.3 or later, or any Mac computer running MacOS Mojave 10.14.5 or later.
