How to turn your smartphone into a TV remote control


It is very easy to control your TV directly from your smartphone. — AFP Relaxnews

Apple and Google make it easy for users to access their various TV operating systems from a smartphone, so that their handset can be used as a remote control. Still, this very easy-to-use feature is often overlooked.

In all cases, you need to make sure that your TV and smartphone are connected to the same WiFi network. For smart TVs running Google TV or Android TV, the best solution is to download and install the Google Home application, regardless of which smartphone you use. Then simply select the TV from the list of connected devices.
