Dear all, after having updated to the latest version of the chrome cast app on both my iPhone and iPad. My chrome cast can't seem to be found when I wto stream something. Have any one got any ideas? Originally, it was a family member who set it up for me. This was using the previous version of the iOS app. Now updated and its broken the link between tv ios devices and tv.
