Use the available controls, switch to the touchpad or explore your TV’s app shortcuts.
LET’S FIND YOUR TV
Designed for compatible smart TVs and streaming devices that allow local network control. The options you see depend on what your device supports.
Need help with your model?Your phone and TV need to be on the same network. TV Remote is not an infrared remote or an away-from-home control service.
Some models require network control to be enabled. Certain buttons, power-on functions and casting features may not be available.
A TV may show a PIN or ask you to approve access. Keep the original remote nearby for initial setup when needed.

GOOD TO KNOW
Yes. TV Remote is permanently free and ad-free, with no subscriptions, paid tiers or daily button allowance. You do not need an app account. Services you open on your TV may have their own subscriptions or advertisements.

Check that your TV is switched on and connected to the same local network as your phone. Allow Local Network access for TV Remote in Settings. Guest Wi-Fi, network isolation or a VPN can prevent discovery. Some TVs also require network control to be enabled.
If it still does not appear, send us the TV’s brand, model, software version and the step where you got stuck.
That depends on your TV and its standby settings. Some devices support waking over the network; others stop accepting network commands when switched off. Keep the original remote for cases where your TV cannot be reached over Wi-Fi.
No. The casting feature sends supported photos and videos to compatible receivers. It does not mirror the entire iPhone screen. Media support depends on the receiver and file format.
