Connect over WiFi in seconds and take charge of your entire Samsung smart TV experience directly from your phone.
WHY USE THIS SAMSUNG TV REMOTE APP
Samsung TV remote control app is designed exclusively for Samsung Smart TV owners — the app connects directly to your TV over your home WiFi network and mirrors the full function set of your original remote, plus a few extras that make control even easier.

HOW IT WORKS
Make sure your phone and your Samsung Smart TV are connected to the same WiFi network. Open the app, allow it to detect your TV, and select it from the list. Tap “allow” on your Samsung TV using the physical remote. Once connected, your phone becomes a fully functional Samsung TV remote.
WHO THIS APP IS FOR
This app is built for anyone who owns a Samsung Smart TV and wants a dependable backup remote — a faster way to type and search, or simply prefers controlling their Samsung TV from their phone. It's useful for households where the original remote often goes missing, for guests who want quick TV access without learning a new device, and for anyone who wants touchpad style navigation instead of clicking through directional buttons one at a time.
BUILT FOR SAMSUNG SMART TVS
This app is focused entirely on Samsung Smart TVs. That focus means faster connection times, more reliable button response, and a layout that matches what Samsung TV owners actually expect from their remote.
GET STARTED
Download the app, connect it to your Samsung Smart TV — and leave the search for your old remote behind. Whether you're relaxing at home, hosting guests, or just want a faster way to control your TV, this Samsung TV remote app is ready whenever you are.
