Features depend on the TV model and its software. The free check in the app shows what works with your TV.

Everything on one screen

For the moments you reach for the remote — and can’t find it.

Remote & touchpad

Arrows or a swipe touchpad, volume, Home and Back — with instant feedback on your phone.

Phone keyboard

Type searches and logins on your iPhone instead of letter by letter on the TV.

Quick launch

Open your favorite TV apps in one tap. Availability depends on what’s installed on your TV.

Photos & videos

Show the photos and videos you pick. Only your selection is shared — nothing else from your library.

Screen mirroring

Show your iPhone screen in the TV’s web browser on supported Samsung and LG TVs. Picture only — sound stays on the iPhone.

Private by design

Everything travels over your home network straight to your TV. Analytics stay off unless you turn them on.

Questions

Which TVs are supported?

Samsung Smart TVs with Tizen (2016 and newer), LG Smart TVs with webOS, and TVs or streaming boxes with Android TV or Google TV. The free check in the app shows what works with your model.

Do I need an account?

No. There’s no sign-up. Purchases go through your Apple account.

Are my photos or my screen sent to your servers?

No. Photos, videos, typed text and screen images go directly from your iPhone to your TV over your home network.

Why is there no sound when mirroring my screen?

Screen mirroring shows the picture in the TV’s web browser; sound keeps playing on the iPhone. Videos shared with “Photos & videos” play on the TV with sound.

The app doesn’t find my TV.

Make sure both devices use the same Wi‑Fi (not a guest network), the TV is on, and Local Network access is allowed for TV Remote in iOS Settings. See Help for more.
