Connecting an LG TV
LG TVs show a connection request the first time.
- Pick your TV in the app.
- Press Accept on the TV with your LG remote within about 30 seconds.
Some LG models show a PIN instead; type it in the app exactly as shown.
Missed it or pressed Decline? In the app, tap the TV name at the top to open Your TVs, swipe left on the TV and tap Remove, wait a minute, then add the TV again. Some LG TVs ignore new requests for about a minute after a decline.
If no prompt appears at all, check that LG Connect Apps (older models, under Network) or TV On With Mobile / Mobile TV On (newer models, under General > Devices > External Devices) is turned on.
Worked before and stopped after a TV update? Recent LG updates switched to a secure connection and changed how phones are allowed. The app handles both; if it asks you to pair again, accept the request on the TV once more.
Asked to pair again out of the blue? After a factory reset, a major software update or removing the app on the TV, the TV no longer recognizes the app. Tap Pair Again and accept on the TV.
