Universal TV Remote Control turns your phone into a TV remote. It finds the smart TVs on your Wi-Fi in seconds and gives you a fast, beautiful remote with a keyboard, touchpad, voice search, app shortcuts and casting. If your phone has an infrared (IR) emitter, it can also control almost any TV with infrared, even a TV that isn't a smart TV, with no Wi-Fi needed.
Lost your TV remote, or tired of typing letter by letter with the arrows? Use your phone as a remote control: no extra hardware and no complicated setup.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS TV REMOTE
• Instant connection: the app finds the smart TVs on your network automatically. Tap one and you're in control. You can also add a TV by its IP address.
• Infrared remote: on phones with an IR emitter, choose your TV's brand, point your phone at the TV and tap Power to find the code that works. Then use it like the TV's own remote, without Wi-Fi.
• Home-screen widgets: power, volume or the full remote right on your home screen, in three sizes.
• Quick Settings tiles: open the remote or turn your TV on and off from the panel you swipe down from the top of the screen.
• Full remote control: directional pad, OK, back, home, volume, channels, mute, playback, number pad and color keys, depending on your TV.
• Smart keyboard: type searches, passwords and logins from your phone instead of the on-screen keyboard.
• Touchpad and cursor: swipe to move through menus. On TVs with an on-screen pointer, move a real cursor.
• Voice search: speak, and your words are typed on the TV (on supported TVs).
• Your streaming apps, one tap away: open your favorite apps directly on the TV and pin your top 3 to the remote.
• Cast to TV: show your phone's photos and videos on the big screen (on supported TVs).
• Turn your TV on: switch compatible TVs on over Wi-Fi with Wake-on-LAN.
• One universal remote for the whole house: save every TV, rename them and switch rooms in one tap.
• Your style: choose the look of your remote from 9 dark and light themes.
• Made for every screen: phones, foldables and tablets, in 24 languages.
WORKS WITH YOUR TV
Over Wi-Fi: most smart TVs, TV platforms, streaming sticks and boxes that can be controlled over the network. The first time you connect, some TVs ask you to allow the connection or show a code on the screen: just follow the steps in the app. You only do this once.
With infrared: almost any TV, smart or not, on phones that have an IR emitter. Many phones don't have one; the app only offers infrared when yours does.
UNIVERSAL REMOTE PRO
Some features need Pro: keyboard, voice search, touchpad and cursor, the full app list, casting, Wake-on-LAN and premium themes. Pro is available as a weekly subscription (with a free trial for new subscribers), a yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Google Play account, and the subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it at any time in Google Play > Payments & subscriptions.
CAN'T FIND YOUR TV?
Make sure the TV is on, that your phone and your TV use the same Wi-Fi network, and that no VPN is active on your phone. The in-app help guides you step by step, and you can contact us directly from the app. Phones with an IR emitter can use infrared instead.
Lost your TV remote and the TV asks you to allow the connection? Most smart TVs accept a USB keyboard: plug one into the TV and select Allow with its arrow keys and Enter. You only need to do this once.
