AirPlay Settings Have Been Rejigged in iOS 11. Don't Worry, We'll Show You Where They Are.

Since the release of iOS 11, users have discovered that the most obvious features in the OS have been moved from their usual places to new ones. Take AirDrop for instance, as well as Auto-Brightness. Basically, these are couple of the settings Apple doesn't want you to fiddle around with, so that they work all the time without any sort of user intervention. However, certain things shouldn't have been moved to a new location at all. AirPlay settings, for instance.
