Everyone once struggles with finding the remote when they wanted to watch something on TV, and when you fed up with it you will find that at the most common location. It happens to me almost every day. So, that is why we must know How To Control Firestick With Phone.

You already have your TV remote, so having one extra Firestick remote is like having one extra issue to look out for.

For this, you just need to have a Fire TV app installed on your phone, with which you want to control the Firestick/Fire TV device.

The phone will have all the features of your typical Firestick remote, so no need to worry.

However, there are some differences between the two which are:-

  • There is an in-built keyboard available on the app.
  • Apps also have a shortcut list, which allows you to launch any of your required applications.
  • There will be a touchpad area in the middle of the screen, which is a replacement of the circular button on the remote.

The list of controls and features you can have on your ‘phone turned remote’ are listed below:-

  • Some of the most important features like fast forward, rewind, play, and pause, work in the same way as they would on the physical remote.

  • The voice command feature can be accessed by tapping on the mic icon, and in the same way, the keyboard can be accessed by tapping on the keyboard icon on the right side of the screen.
  • You need to tap on the touchpad to select the item which is currently highlighted on Fire TV/Firestick.
  • To scroll you need to move your fingers on the touchpad.

  • If you want to move without scrolling, just swipe with a touchpad in the direction of your choice.

So, the answer to your query can I control my Firestick with my phone?, is YES.

ATTENTION ALL!!!

Do You Know these facts about the potential dangers of streaming online : 1. The risk of your IP revelation. 2. Your ISP has all your browsing data and it is now legal to sell this type of information to third parties. The only way to protect your viewing and identity in the 3 above scenarios is by using a VPN. Check out these most popular VPNs that will help you with this:- a) Express VPN b) Ivacy VPN

You just need to follow the steps given in this article.

There are some prerequisites before you begin with the main step, which is:-

  1. Download(Android or iOS) the latest Fire TV app on your phone and install it.
  2. Connect your Firestick/Fire TV and your phone with the same WiFi network.

Once these conditions are met move ahead for the next steps, which are:-

  • Turn ON your TV and Fire TV and with your TV remote, select that HDMI as a source on which the Firestick/Fire TV is connected.
  • Launch the Fire TV app on your phone, and sign in with the Amazon credentials.
  • Select an available device on the screen and follow on-screen instructions to set up the app with the device.
  • A connection request code number will appear on the screen, enter that code in the app.
  • This will establish a connection between the phone and the TV.
  • Once the connection is established, use your phone as a remote.

[NOTE:- This app will run on Android version 4.0.3+ and for iOS 7.0+]

]]> We all usually connect our digital devices to our TVs, to share or watch content on the big television screen. There are many ways to do it, but here we will discuss How To Connect Phone To TV Wirelessly Without WiFi. Here, we will mention ways that will not require any type of wire. 

Usually, there are different types of wires to connect your TV with some external devices like phones, laptops, or Nintendo Wii. But, here you will find methods for wireless connection.

The major reason for which you want to connect your phone to your TV is to watch something on the bigger screen. But, these are the days of smart TVs and they have almost every application (depending on which brand you have).

So, the question is what is the need to connect your phone now?

And, the most common reason to do that is all these smart TVs in order to watch something from the applications Like Netflix, Hulu, Fubo TV, etc. you need a WiFi connection(good internet connection).

Without this, there will be no fun. So, if you do not have access to WiFi or any other reason to connect your phone to TV, read the complete article.

There are basically two ways to connect your phone without WiFi, these are screencasting and screen mirroring. However, these two may seem like the same thing to you, there are main differences between them.

In screen mirroring, you will share all of the contents and movements of one device to another, while in screencasting you can play videos/music, etc. on the other display and use your device at the same time. Mirroring is the exact sharing of the screens and casting is not. You can use your device for another purpose also while casting.

For both ways, all you require is a hotspot, which you can easily create with your smartphone.

Apart from these, you may also use casting devices like Google Chromecast, it is quite easy to set up and very fast too in terms of connection.

Using Google Chromecast

To set up this device, plug it in your TV’s HDMI port and also connect it with the power source from another end. Now, set up a hotspot from any mobile device(which will act as the router).

You also, need to install Google Home on the smartphone(the one you want to connect with TV). Connect this smartphone with the hotspot connection and with the help of Google Home, select the Chromecast from the list of devices available in the app.

Now, use the Mirror Device option and then select Cast Screen/Audio from there.

Screen Mirroring

If WiFi is not available but your smart TV supports the option of mirroring, it is possible to connect your phone to your smart TV.

Just follow these options:-

  • Make sure your TV should support this mirroring feature.
  • Open screen mirroring from both your phone and smart TV.

Now, just select your TV from the list of the device(s) showing on your smartphone, and that’s it.

Screen Casting

As discussed above, it is quite different from mirroring. There are many apps that support these casting features. Applications like YouTube, Netflix, etc. have this feature to cast that particular piece of information(videos mostly).

Casting screens on smart TVs like VIZIO etc is quite easy as it provides a SmartCast feature for this, but you can also connect it in many other ways.

You may have noticed a special cast button on many streaming platforms(just above and in the right/left corner of the videos).

All you have to do is to click on that cast button while playing a video on your device and then select your TV(turn on the casting feature on your TV set) and that’s it.
