Media option missing from Roku app
I used to have an option for media in the Roku app where I could select pictures from my phone and show them on the TV. The media option just disappeared, how do I get it back?
Hi, Community users!
We appreciate you for bringing this to our attention.
Worry no more, as we will be asking for additional reinforcement from our Engineering team for further review. We will coordinate with them to figure out why the Media option is currently unavailable on some of the smartphones.
To users who are experiencing the same concern, kindly provide us with the current software version of your Roku streaming device to which your mobile app is connected. You can find it under Settings > System > About. In addition, provide us with the firmware version or the current build version of the Roku mobile app on both your iPhone and Android phones.
We'll be looking forward to your responses as we are more than eager to find you the best course of action. Also, to those who have already provided their information, rest assured that we have forwarded these to our Engineering team.
Best regards,

Thanks for getting in touch, and welcome to the Roku Community!
Please be advised that this feature is no longer available on the Roku Mobile app platform anymore. You can still use screen mirroring and AirPlay as an alternative.
