How can I control my Samsung TV from my phone?

What to do if you lose your TV remote?

If you’ve set this up and given permission before, or you still have your remote, it’s a breeze. But if you’ve lost your remote, when your TV asks permission for your phone to connect you can use the controls on your TV to give it. (See your user manual for instructions.)
