Additionally, this upcoming feature will also work with the Google TV platform, which debuted with Chromecast last year. So if you lose your remote for your Chromecast with Google TV, the only thing you can do is use your Android phone as a replacement until it comes up again.
To use an Android phone as a TV remote control, all you need to do is pair your device with a TV or Chromecast that supports this feature.
Google said there are currently 80 million monthly active Android TVs so there are plenty of people who would find this new tool useful.
With the upcoming feature, users will be able to turn on their Google TV or Android TV with their phone and navigate the menus on their device’s screen.
