Life happens fast, and your entertainment should keep up. That's why we're excited to introduce our latest VIZIO mobile app update: lock screen TV control that puts the power in your hands, even when your phone is locked.
Control Without Compromise
Gone are the days of fumbling to unlock your phone just to pause your show or adjust the volume. With our latest update, essential TV controls are now available directly from your lock screen. Whether you need to quickly pause during an unexpected phone call, lower the volume for a sleeping baby, or turn on closed captioning in a noisy room, everything you need is just a tap away.
How it Works
Getting started with lock screen TV control is easy. To use this feature, you’ll need:
Mobile app installed and paired with your TV
Account linked to your device
Phone connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your TV
Mobile app running in the background
Lock Screen Widgets enabled for your phone
Once these basics are in place, your lock screen transforms into an instant TV remote. The app works quietly in the background, ready for you to hit play, pause, adjust volumes or even toggle closed captioning without having to unlock your phone.
What's New:
Instant Playback Control: Play, pause, rewind, and fast forward without ever opening the app. Perfect for those moments when you need to step away or catch something you missed.
Lock Screen Volume: Mute, raise, or lower your TV's volume directly from your phone's lock screen. No more searching for the remote or disrupting your viewing experience.
Quick Caption Access: Toggle closed captioning on and off instantly, making your content accessible whenever and wherever you need it.
Always Innovating for You
At VIZIO, we're always looking to streamline your entertainment experience and find ways to make controlling your TV as intuitive as possible. Your entertainment should work around your life, not the other way around.
