If the above-mentioned IR remote app does not work, install Universal IR remote apps to control the TV.

After installing any one of the above apps on your smartphone, launch it. You need to choose either the WiFi remote or the Infrared Remote option. If you choose the WiFi remote, your smartphone and TV should be connected to the same WiFi connection. If you pick the Infrared Remote, you can select your TV brand and start controlling your TV directly.
If you don’t want to use third-party remote apps to control your TV, you can purchase a good universal remote from Amazon.
