About

The Frame Manager

Do you have a Samsung The Frame TV, but find the SmartThings app slow and frustrating? The Frame Manager gives you a faster way to manage the photos on your Frame TV. Pick images from your iPhone library, crop them to 3840 x 2160, upload them to your TV, set the current Art Mode image, and remove remote files when you no longer need them. Built for people who use The Frame as a real photo frame and want a focused tool instead of a slow all-in-one app. Compatibility has been observed in real-world use with model years 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024, 2025 and 2026. Photo uploads have succeeded on selected 2017–2021 models and QN55LS03DAFXZA (2024); local Art API connections have also succeeded on selected newer models. Reported models include: - UE55LS003 and UE65LS003 (2017) - UE43LS03N, UE49LS03N and UE55LS03N (2018) - QE49LS03RASXXN (2019) - QE32LS03TBKXXU, QE43LS03TAUXXU and QN32LS03TBFXZA (2020) - QE50LS03AAUXXN and QN50LS03ADFXZA (2021) - QE50LS03BAUXXN and QN75LS03BAFXZC (2022) - QN43LS03DDFXZA, QN55LS03DAFXZA and TQ65LS03DAUXXC (2024) - QE50LS03FAUXXN and QE65LS03FWUXXN (2025) - QA65LS03HWWXXY (2026) A successful Art API report confirms that the TV responded. It does not prove that every feature works on every listed model; behavior can vary by firmware. We do not yet have sufficient functional confirmation for model year 2023. The TV and iPhone must be connected to the same local network. Samsung and Samsung The Frame are trademarks of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.
