Do you want to connect your phone to your TV, computer monitor, or HD projector via USB-C? If you have an Android, you can do so if your phone supports HDMI Alt mode. But how can you tell if your phone supports HDMI Alt mode? It's pretty easy to figure out. This wikiHow article teaches you simple ways to determine whether your phone can connect to another device using HDMI Alt Mode.
Does your phone support HDMI Alt Mode?
If your phone has a USB-C port, it most likely supports HDMI Alt Mode. Check the phone's packaging and manual for an HDMI sticker or icon to confirm. Because iPhones don't have USB-C ports (yet), they don't support HDMI Alt Mode.
