Documentation

Requirements

• An iPhone running iOS 17 or later.
• Your iPhone and TV connected to the same local network.
• A compatible TV or streaming device with network remote control enabled.
• Local Network permission enabled for QuickTap in iOS Settings.

First connection

1. Open QuickTap and wait a few seconds for discovery.
2. Select your TV from the detected-device list.
3. Approve the request displayed on the TV, or enter the pairing code when requested.
4. Give the TV a room name so you can identify it quickly.

If discovery does not find your TV, tap + and enter the IP address shown in the TV's network settings.

Using the remote

The remote provides directional navigation, OK, back, home, volume, mute, channels, input, power, and a numeric keypad. Available commands may vary by device.

TV keyboard

When a supported TV text field is active, open “TV keyboard,” type on your iPhone, and tap Send. The free version includes ten successful text sends so you can verify compatibility. Failed sends do not use the allowance. QuickTap Pro provides unlimited text sends.

Waking a TV

For compatible devices, QuickTap can send a Wake-on-LAN signal. Network wake-up must be enabled in the TV settings, and the TV must remain connected to power and the local network.

Scenarios

A scenario runs several actions with one tap, such as opening an app and replaying navigation steps. Built-in scenarios are available by default. QuickTap Pro lets you create and edit custom scenarios.

QuickTap Pro

QuickTap Pro is a one-time, non-consumable In-App Purchase. It unlocks custom scenarios, multiple saved TVs, unlimited TV-keyboard sends, and Advanced Mode. Restore it from Settings → Premium using the same Apple Account.

Troubleshooting

My TV does not appear

• Confirm that the iPhone and TV use the same Wi-Fi.
• Enable Settings → QuickTap → Local Network on your iPhone.
• Avoid guest networks or router client-isolation features.
• Turn on the TV, restart discovery, or add its IP address manually.

Pairing fails

Start the connection again and approve the on-screen request quickly. If a code is used, request a new code before retrying.

A command does not work

Some commands are unavailable on certain models or firmware versions because the device does not expose them through its network protocol.
