Check Out These Steps To Send Files From Your Smartphone To Your Smart TV

 (Revised: September 2, 2022)

Sales of smart TVs, particularly Android TVs, have increased dramatically as a result of their growing popularity and integration of smart features across many platforms. If you have an Android television, you may want to stream music, watch videos, or even see documents directly from your phone. Yet how?

It's easy to transmit files from your Android phone to a smart TV once you figure out how to work around the issue. This post will explain two ways to transfer files from your Android phone to your Android smart TV. Let's quickly get started.

How Do You Send Files From Your Phone To A TV?

The necessary app needs to be downloaded and installed on your Android TV and Android smartphone before anything else. You only need to do the following actions to accomplish this:

Step 1: Open the Play Store on both your TV and your Android phone.

Step 2: Search for the ‘Send Files to TV’ app.

Step 3: Open the app on your TV and select ‘Receive’.

Step 4: On your phone, go select the files you’d like to send to your TV and hit Share.

Step 5: Choose ‘Send Files to TV’ from the resulting window.

Step 6: Now, select your Android TV from the list. The files will be sent over.

Note: The ‘Send Files to TV’ app is not yet available for iOS devices.

Mirror the display of your phone on a Chromecast or Firestick.

Another way to stream material from your phone or computer to your TV is through mirroring. Mirroring your mobile device to your TV allows you to play videos and view photographs only on the large screen. Additionally, keep in mind that the file won't be sent to the TV.

The same Wi-Fi network must be used by your TV and smartphone for mirroring to operate. Next, find the casting option on your phone, tap it, and select your smart TV from the list of connected devices. You may watch a movie on your smartphone, and the TV will mirror your device to the screen as you watch it.
