All you need to do is download and install the Fire TV remote app on your smartphone and pair it with your Amazon Fire TV which is as easy as it could ever be. In this blog you’ll know how to do that. So let’s get started!

How To Pair?

Once you have successfully installed the Remote App on your mobile device, you can easily start using it as a remote to your Fire TV enabled television set by pairing it with your TV. To learn how to pair, follow these simple steps.

 

  • Connect your mobile device to the local WiFi network. It would be better if both your mobile and Amazon Fire TV are connected to the same WiFi network.

  • Launch the Remote app on your Smartphone, select your Fire TV device. Follow the on-screen instructions.

  • Enter the code displayed on the TV screen when the app prompts to do so and complete the pairing.

 

That’s how it’s done! However, once you have paired a phone with your Amazon Fire TV, it can’t be unpaired and will be available in the list of paired device. The only way to remove the paired devices is to factory reset your Amazon Fire TV which would remove all the paired remotes and controllers.
