## What is TV Remotely?

Lost the remote? Turn your iPhone into a smart TV remote.

TV Remotely finds compatible TVs on your Wi-Fi and lets you control them from one app. Navigate, change volume, control playback, launch TV apps, type with your iPhone keyboard, and cast your own photos and videos. No account required. Free, with no ads.

WITH TV REMOTELY
• Find compatible TVs on your local Wi-Fi network and pair with an on-screen approval or the code shown on your TV.
• Navigate menus, adjust volume and control playback where supported.
• Open supported apps installed on your TV.
• Use your iPhone keyboard for text entry on compatible TVs.
• Cast your own photos and videos to TVs that support media casting.
• Mirror your screen where supported, using your iPhone's system controls and an AirPlay-compatible receiver.
• Save multiple TVs and switch between them.

SUPPORTED TV PLATFORMS
Designed for compatible TVs on platforms including Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, Sony BRAVIA, Android TV, Google TV, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Hisense VIDAA, Vizio SmartCast, Apple TV, Philips, Panasonic Viera, Vestel and TCL.

GETTING CONNECTED
Connect your iPhone and TV to the same local Wi-Fi network. Allow Local Network access, choose your TV and approve the connection or enter the code shown on the TV when prompted.

COMPATIBILITY
Available controls, app launching, keyboard input, casting and mirroring depend on your TV's model, platform, firmware and network settings. Some TVs require network-control settings to be enabled.

PRIVACY AND SUPPORT
TV commands and selected cast media travel directly over your local network. No account is required. Optional usage analytics can be turned off in Settings.

Free to use, including saving multiple TVs.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1.6 — 2026-11-09

• Screen mirroring appears much faster and stays closer to live. You can cancel while it connects, and the app tells you if your iPhone isn’t on Wi‑Fi.
• Apps open reliably on Google TV and Android TV: tapping an app no longer drops the connection.
• Apps your TV doesn’t have are dimmed after the first try.
• Your TV’s brand now shows correctly instead of “Unknown”.

Also in recent updates:
• Mirror your screen to the TV from the app (iOS 16 or later). The TV plays the sound, so turn your iPhone’s volume down.
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets (iOS 17 or later).
• Use your iPhone’s volume buttons for the TV: Settings › Phone volume buttons.
• “Type on the TV” in Siri and Shortcuts, key sounds, and a new remote with a big gold Home key.

### 1.0.8 — 2026-11-07
