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.

Unfortunately, HBO Max isn't available on every streaming device yet. Roku users in particular are feeling left out, considering they have access to nearly every other streaming app on the market.

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.
