SETUP AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Fire TV Remote App FAQs
Can I use my Android phone as a Firestick remote?
Yes. Install Fire TV Remote from Google Play, connect your Android phone and Fire TV Stick to the same Wi-Fi network, then select your device in the app. After pairing, you can navigate with remote buttons or the touchpad, enter text with your phone keyboard, and launch installed apps from shortcuts.
How do I pair the remote app with my Fire TV?
Keep your Fire TV powered on and connected to the same Wi-Fi as your phone. Open the app, select your device, and follow the authorization prompt on your TV. Enable ADB debugging on Fire TV as required by the app to complete the connection.
Why is the Fire TV remote app not connecting?
First, check that your phone and Fire TV are on the same Wi-Fi network and that ADB debugging is enabled on Fire TV. If your device is missing from the list, restart your Fire TV, reopen the app, and check your Wi-Fi signal. A guest network may prevent your phone and TV from finding each other.
Can I control Firestick without the original remote?
Yes, once your Fire TV Stick is connected to Wi-Fi and paired with the app. If you still need to set up Wi-Fi or approve a pairing request on your TV, you may need the original remote or your TV's built-in controls to complete those steps first.
Does the Firestick remote app work without Wi-Fi?
This app connects over Wi-Fi. Your Android phone and Fire TV need to be on the same network for device discovery and remote control. It does not replace the physical remote's Bluetooth connection.
Which phones and Fire TV devices are supported?
The app runs on Android phones and tablets with Android 7.0 or later. It supports Fire TV, Fire TV Stick, Fire TV Cube, and Fire TV Box. This product is currently available on Google Play for Android; an iPhone download is not available on this page.
Is this the official Amazon Fire TV remote app?
No. Fire TV Remote is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Amazon.com, Inc. Amazon, Fire TV, and Fire TV Stick are trademarks of their respective owners.
