FAQ
Common questions.
Which TVs does the TV remote app support?
The app supports the major smart TV brands: Samsung (Tizen), LG (webOS), Sony, TCL, Vizio, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Google TV, Chromecast, and Apple TV. Most Wi-Fi-connected models from the last several years are supported.
Does it need Bluetooth or an IR blaster?
No. The TV remote app uses your existing Wi-Fi network to reach the TV, so it runs on any iPhone without extra hardware — no adapter, no cable, no infrared line-of-sight.
Does the app collect data about what I watch?
No. The app talks directly to your TV on your local network. It never sees which shows you watch, and it does not send that data anywhere.
What if my TV is not in the list?
Make sure both devices are on the same 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz network (not a guest Wi-Fi), and that "network control" is enabled on the TV. Most sets need this switched on once, from the TV's connectivity settings.
