Problem: when I cast a video from Google Photos to Chromecast using my iPhone, I see that only the image of the video is cast to TV, the TV has no sound and the frame is lag, the sound remain on my iPhone, but if I press home on my iPhone, then the casting to my TV stopped.
Then I try using Google Photos on my friend's Samsung Android to cast a video, and it works perfectly.
I see that this problem exists since 2018, many has complained:
- No sound when I cast videos from the Google Photos app to my TV,
audio only plays from my phone.
- No sound when casting Google photos to tv. All other apps like Spotify and youtube works fine .
- iOS Photos App, Cloud-Only Video to Chromecast (2&3): No Sound from TV, only iOS device
This is the end of 2020 and it's still not fixed. So I don't expect Google will fix this on iPhone.

So beside having a local copy exists on iOS device, is there other way? Or I guess I'll just buy a Samsung Android to cast Google Photos video.
