The advantage of using the remote app for Ikon TV is that you can operate multiple TVs simultaneously. All you need to use remote apps is a WiFi connection or a smartphone with an IR blaster. In this article, we will show you a step-by-step tutorial on controlling the Ikon TV using iPhone and Android devices.
Control Ikon Android or Google TV Using the Google TV App
The Google TV app features a remote interface so you can control your Ikon Google TV. To get started, check whether your smartphone and Ikon TV are connected to the same WiFi connection.
1. Download the Google TV app on your iPhone or Android from its respective app stores.
2. Launch the Google TV app and sign in to your Google account.
3. On the app homepage, you will find the TV Remote option at the bottom. Select the TV Remote option.

8. Now, a remote interface will launch on your smartphone. Using the D-pad or Swipe Control, you can control your Ikon TV.
Control Ikon webOS TV Using the LG ThinQ App
Another remote app to control your Ikon TV is the LG ThinQ app. This app controls your Ikon TV only if it runs on the webOS operating system.
1. Open the Play Store on your Android and get the LG ThinQ app. If you are an iPhone user, launch the App Store to download the LG ThinQ app.
2. After the installation, run the app and sign in using your Email ID and Password.
3. On the app’s welcome page, tap Add Products and click Select Manually.
4. Your Ikon TV will automatically appear on the Nearby Devices list at the top. If not, select the TV option.
5. Then, choose your Ikon webOS TV from the list and tap OK after entering the pairing code.
6. Next, if you want to turn on your Ikon TV using WiFi, tap Agree.
7. Then, tap OK on the Complete registration page.
8. Click on the Remote Control option to open the remote interface. Now, control your Ikon TV using the LG ThinQ app.
Use the IR Remote App to Control Ikon TV
Other than the official remote apps, there are a few IR remote apps that you can use to control your Ikon TV without WiFi. These apps are useful for operating an old Ikon TV that does not support a WiFi connection. The requisite is an Android phone equipped with an IR blaster. A few of the IR remote apps that control your Ikon TV are as follows.
After you install any IR remote app on your smartphone, launch the app and select the remote. Then, point your IR remote app towards the TV and control your Ikon TV without any pairing process.
If you are an iPhone user, there is no way to use infrared remote apps, as iOS devices lack an IR blaster. Alternatively, you can buy a universal remote from Amazon and program it with your Ikon TV to use the remote.
