What's New in Zapp
1.0.3
October 9, 2026
Apps, typing and a calmer remote. • Samsung: your TV's apps (YouTube, Prime Video, Apple TV, Spotify and more) now appear as one-tap shortcuts on 2020 and newer models, and they show up instantly when you reopen the remote. • New: swipe pad. Turn it on in Settings to swipe on the pad to move and tap to select, like the Apple TV remote. • The TV list now shows which TVs are ready to control. • Clear, step-by-step help the first time you connect, and when a TV can't be reached. • Samsung keyboard: opens by itself when your TV asks for text, and tells you plainly when an app such as YouTube draws its own keyboard that a phone can't type into. • Less empty space above the keys on tall phones. • Settings: a "Feel it" row to test vibration.
