Works with Samsung smart TVs

The Samsung TV remote that lives in your pocket

Remote Pro speaks Samsung’s own network remote protocol — the same channel the physical remote’s smart features use. Connect over your home WiFi, approve once on the TV, and your iPhone is a full remote.

What you get

Built on the Samsung protocol, not a workaround

Full control surface

D-pad, OK, back, home, volume, mute, power, channel and playback — every button that matters, with instant response.

A real keyboard

Search on Samsung TV means hunting letters with arrows. Remote Pro opens your iPhone keyboard and types straight into the TV’s search fields.

Reconnects by itself

Approve the pairing prompt once. After that, Remote Pro remembers your TV and re-pairs automatically — even when the TV rotates its security token.

Finds your TV in seconds

One scan sweeps your network and lists every Samsung TV it finds, by name. No IP addresses, no model-number menus.

Setup

Pairing with a Samsung TV

1
Put your iPhone on the same WiFi network as the TV (not the guest network).
2
Open Remote Pro and tap Scan — your Samsung TV appears in the device list.
3
Tap the TV. A prompt appears on the TV screen: select Allow with your old remote — or, if the remote is gone, most Samsung TVs let you approve with the physical joystick/button under the front or back edge of the panel.
4
Done. The remote screen opens and every press lands on the TV.

The honest part

What you should know before installing anything

The TV must be reachable to switch on

Turning a Samsung TV ON from the app works when the TV keeps its network chip awake in standby (most recent sets do, and there’s a “power on with mobile” style setting on many models). If the TV is fully unplugged, no app — including Samsung’s own — can wake it.

The first pairing needs an Allow press

Samsung requires a one-time approval on the TV itself. If your remote is lost AND your TV has no physical control button, see our lost-remote guide for the ways around the catch-22.

And yes — there’s an official free app

Samsung’s official option is the free SmartThings app. It’s a whole-home hub — capable, but you’ll tap through rooms and device cards to reach remote buttons. Remote Pro does one job: it opens straight onto a remote, and it also covers your Fire TV, Android TV and Roku devices in the same app.
