| One UI Tizen upgrade | Tizen 8.0 | 2024 | Samsung began rolling out its One UI update, based on Tizen 8.0, to some 2023 TVs in late 2024 (reported by SamMobile). Samsung says TVs from 2023 onward can get up to seven years of One UI Tizen upgrades, depending on model and region. |
How to read a Samsung model number
Hover over or tap each part of the code.

Samsung skips some letters. 2017 and 2018 QLED codes put the year in a different place (Q7F, Q9FN): there, F and FN are part of the series name, not 2025. Older 2012–2014 sets used E, F and H right after the screen size (UN46H6203); those run Samsung's Legacy Platform.

The full US code adds a factory suffix such as AFXZA (QN65QN90DAFXZA). The suffix can be ignored when checking compatibility. The Frame used the UN prefix in 2017 and 2018 (UN55LS003, UN55LS03N).

From 2025, Samsung's series names put the year letter at the end, as on QLED codes (U8000F is the 2025 version of the 8000 series).

Troubleshooting
Most problems come from the network or one TV setting. Start at the top.
The TV never shows the Allow prompt
- Check that your iPhone and the TV are on the same Wi-Fi network, not a guest network.
- Open Device Connect Manager and make sure Access Notification is not turned off. 2021: Settings > General > External Device Manager. 2022–2024: Settings > All Settings > Connection > External Device Manager. 2025 and later: Settings > All Settings > Connections.
- If your iPhone is in the Device List as Denied, set it to Allow or delete it, then connect again.
The app can't turn the TV on
- Turn on Power On with Mobile in the network Expert Settings (see the setup steps for your year).
- Turn the TV off with the remote, not at the wall. A TV that was unplugged can't be woken over the network.
- If it still doesn't wake, turn the TV on with the remote. The rest of the controls will still work once it's on.
The TV never shows the Allow prompt
- Check that your iPhone and the TV are on the same Wi-Fi network, not a guest network.
- Open Device Connect Manager on the TV and check that Access Notification is not turned off. The path depends on the year: Settings > General > External Device Manager (2021), Settings > All Settings > Connection > External Device Manager (2022–2024), or Settings > All Settings > Connections (2025 and later).
- Look in the Device List. If your iPhone is listed as Denied, change it to Allow or delete it, then connect again.
The app can't turn the TV on
- Turn on Power On with Mobile in the network Expert Settings. 2017–2021: Settings > General > Network > Expert Settings. 2022 and later: Settings > All Settings > Connection (or Connections) > Network > Expert Settings.
- Turn the TV off with the remote, not at the wall. A TV that has been unplugged or switched off at the wall can't be woken over the network.
- Keep the TV on the same network as your iPhone. Some routers stop passing wake-up traffic to devices in standby after a while.
The TV turns itself on
- Samsung's support pages say network devices can turn the TV on when Power On with Mobile is on. If you don't need to wake the TV from your phone, turn Power On with Mobile off.

Questions
Is there a Samsung OLED TV remote app for iPhone?
Yes. Simple TV Remote is a Samsung OLED TV remote app for iPhone that works with Samsung OLED TV sets running Samsung Tizen. It pairs over your home Wi-Fi and sends real commands in a free check, so you know it works on your exact TV before you pay $5.99, once.
How do I pair a Samsung OLED remote?
Stand within about 1 foot of the TV, point the remote at it, and hold Return and Play/Pause together for at least 5 seconds. Let go when the TV says the remote is connected. If it won't pair, unplug the TV for 30 seconds and try again.
How do I reset a Samsung OLED remote?
On a SolarCell remote (2021 and later TVs), hold Return and Enter, the center of the navigation pad, for 10 seconds. On a battery remote, take the batteries out and hold Power for 8 seconds. Then pair it again with Return and Play/Pause.
How do I charge a Samsung OLED SolarCell remote?
Plug a USB-C cable into the port on the bottom of the remote. The light on the front stays on while it charges and goes off when it's full. Between uses, leave the solar panel on the back facing the light. Samsung doesn't include the cable.
How do I turn on a Samsung OLED TV without the remote?
Press the Controller button on the TV. On many Samsung models it's under the bottom center or bottom right of the screen, but the spot and shape vary by model. Once the TV is on, press it once for a small menu with power, volume, channel and source.
Which Samsung OLED TVs work?
All of them. Samsung's OLED TVs started in 2022 with the S95B, and the S90, S85 and later series run the same Tizen software. The last letter of the series is the year: B 2022, C 2023, D 2024, F 2025, H 2026, so QN65S90D is a 2024 S90D.
How do I let my iPhone turn on my Samsung OLED?
Turn on Power On with Mobile in the network Expert Settings. On 2022–2024 models it's Settings > All Settings > Connection > Network > Expert Settings. From 2025 it's Settings > All Settings > Connections > Network > Expert Settings. Then turn the TV off with the remote, not at the wall, so it waits in standby.
I pressed Deny on my Samsung OLED. How do I fix it?
Open Device Connect Manager and set your iPhone to Allow, or delete it so the TV asks again. On 2021 models it's in Settings > General > External Device Manager. On 2022–2024 models it's Settings > All Settings > Connection > External Device Manager. From 2025 it's Settings > All Settings > Connections > Device Connect Manager.
How do I tell which year my Samsung OLED is?
Look at the last letter of the series. B is 2022, C 2023, D 2024, F 2025 and H 2026. QN65S95C is a 2023 S95C.
Is a Samsung OLED controlled differently from a Samsung QLED?
Both run Tizen, so the setup steps and menus are the same for TVs from the same year.
Can my iPhone turn the TV on?
Only from standby and only with Power On with Mobile turned on in the network Expert Settings.
Can I type into apps from my iPhone?
We don't know yet. Text input is marked unknown for Samsung TVs until we've tested it.
