If your Android TV is connected to the internet, you can easily control it using several smartphone hacks. (News18 Hindi)
Smartphones have become an inseparable part of modern life, simplifying everyday tasks in countless ways. From paying bills to controlling home appliances, smartphone hacks are now an integral part of daily convenience. With smart TVs rapidly replacing traditional television sets in most households, these hacks have only grown more relevant.
Yet one common problem persists: TV remotes always seem to vanish right when you need them the most. The good news is that your smartphone can now double up as a smart remote, allowing you to control your Android TV not just at home but even from outside. Here’s how.
Google Home App
If your Android TV is connected to the internet and linked to your Google account, you can use the Google Home app on your phone. This allows you to control the TV, cast content, and manage settings remotely with ease.
Android TV Remote Control App
Google also offers the official Android TV Remote Control app, available on the Play Store. As long as both your phone and TV are connected to the internet, this app lets you control your TV directly.
Third-Party Apps
Several third-party apps, such as Unified Remote or AnyMote, can also help control your Android TV. However, these usually require you to set up a server on your home network before use.
Remote Access Software
For advanced users, software like TeamViewer or Chrome Remote Desktop can be used. These tools allow remote access to your home network, letting you control devices connected to it, including your Android TV.
What You Need to Do
- Ensure your Android TV is connected to the internet.
- Link your Google account or create an account with any third-party app, if required.
- Configure both your phone and TV properly for remote access.
By following these simple steps, your smartphone can serve as a handy remote control for your Android TV, whether you’re at home or away.
