## What is TV Remote?

Turn your iPhone into a smart, universal-style TV remote experience built for compatible Android TV and Google TV devices.

Connect over the same Wi-Fi network and control navigation, playback, volume, channels, apps, text input, and more from your iPhone. Whether your physical remote is missing, out of reach, or simply too slow for typing, TV Remote gives you a faster and more convenient way to control your television.

SMART TV REMOTE CONTROL

Use an intuitive D-pad with Up, Down, Left, Right, and OK/Select controls.

Quickly access:
• Home and Back
• Volume Up, Volume Down, and Mute

• Guide and Closed Captions
• Numeric keypad
• Source / Input controls where supported

TOUCHPAD NAVIGATION

Turn your iPhone into a smooth TV touchpad. Swipe through menus, tap to select, and quickly access Home, Back, and Menu controls.
