Lost The Frame's slim remote, or it's flat again? Your iPhone can run The Frame over your home Wi-Fi: menus, volume, apps and power. Try it free on your own TV, then it's $5.99 once.

What works

Samsung The Frame TVs (2017 onward) run Tizen.

  • Navigation and OK
  • Volume and mute
  • Turn off
  • Turn on from standbyTurn on Power On with Mobile. 2017–2021: Settings > General > Network > Expert Settings > Power On with Mobile; 2022–2024: Settings > All Settings > Connection > Network > Expert Settings > Power On with Mobile; 2025 and later: Settings > All Settings > Connections > Network > Expert Settings > Power On with Mobile. Works from standby only, not after the TV has been unplugged.

On your TV

Turn these on once with your TV remote. Menu names can differ slightly by year and region.

  1. Put your iPhone and TV on the same network

    Connect the TV to the same Wi-Fi network (or the same router by Ethernet) as your iPhone. Guest networks often block devices from seeing each other.

  2. Allow the connection on the TV

    The first time Simple TV Remote connects, the TV asks whether to allow the device. Choose Allow with your Samsung remote.

  3. If you chose Deny, allow your iPhone in Device Connect Manager

    2021 models

    Set your iPhone to Allow, or delete it so the TV asks again. Access Notification on the same screen controls whether the TV shows the prompt.

One UI Tizen upgradeTizen 8.02024Samsung 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.

Year letter (all markets)

JKMNRTABCDFH
  • J2015 (Tizen 2.3)
  • K2016 (Tizen 2.4)
  • M2017 (Tizen 3.0)
  • N2018 (Tizen 4.0)
  • R2019 (Tizen 5.0)
  • T2020 (Tizen 5.5)

  • D2024 (Tizen 8.0)
  • F2025 (Tizen 9.0)
  • H2026 (Tizen 10.0)

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.

US QLED, Neo QLED, OLED and The Frame (2019 and later)

QN65QN90D
  • QNUS prefix for QLED, Neo QLED, OLED and The Frame
  • 65Screen size in inches
  • QN90Series. QN is Neo QLED, Q is QLED (Q80), S is OLED (S90), LS03 is The Frame
  • DYear letter: D is 2024

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).

US Crystal UHD and UHD (2016–2024)

UN55CU8000
  • UNUS prefix for LED TVs (UHD and Crystal UHD)
  • 55Screen size in inches
  • CYear letter: C is 2023 (K 2016, M 2017, N 2018, R 2019, T 2020, A 2021, B 2022, D 2024)
  • UUHD (4K). 2016 premium sets use S (KS8000) for SUHD
  • 8000Series

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).

UK QLED, Neo QLED, OLED and The Frame

QE65Q80CATXXU
  • QEEuropean prefix for QLED, Neo QLED, OLED and The Frame
  • 65Screen size in inches
  • Q80CSeries and year letter (C is 2023)
  • ATVariant letters. These change by series and year (for example QE55Q7FAMTXXU in 2017, QE55LS03TAUXXU for a 2020 Frame)
  • XXUUK stock. Other European countries use different endings

Type the full code from the label when you check a UK TV. The part before the variant letters is usually the same as in the rest of Europe.

UK Crystal UHD and UHD

UE55CU8000KXXU

2016 UK codes follow the same idea with a different suffix, for example UE55KS7000UXXU.

Troubleshooting

Most problems come from the network or one TV setting. Start at the top.

The TV never shows the Allow prompt
  1. Check that your iPhone and the TV are on the same Wi-Fi network, not a guest network.
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  1. Turn on Power On with Mobile in the network Expert Settings (see the setup steps for your year).
  2. Turn the TV off with the remote, not at the wall. A TV that was unplugged can't be woken over the network.
  3. 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
  1. Check that your iPhone and the TV are on the same Wi-Fi network, not a guest network.
  2. 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).
  3. 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
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  1. 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.

How to use your iPhone as a Samsung Frame TV remote

  1. Join the same Wi-FiConnect your iPhone and the TV to the same home Wi-Fi network. Guest networks often keep devices apart.
  2. Pick your TV in the appOpen Simple TV Remote and choose your TV from the list. The free check runs on your own TV before you pay anything.
  3. Choose Allow on the TVThe TV asks once whether to allow your iPhone. Choose Allow with your Samsung remote.
  4. Let your iPhone turn the TV onTurn on Power On with Mobile in the network Expert Settings: Settings > General > Network on 2017–2021 models, Settings > All Settings > Connection > Network on 2022–2024 models, and Connections instead of Connection from 2025. This is optional and only works from standby.

Questions

Is there a Samsung The Frame TV remote app for iPhone?

Yes. Simple TV Remote is a Samsung The Frame TV remote app for iPhone that works with Samsung The Frame 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 Frame TV 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.

Why does The Frame show art instead of turning off?

Because a short press of power switches The Frame to Art Mode, not off. Samsung's 2022 e-Manual says a short press while you watch TV goes to Art Mode, and pressing and holding power turns the TV off completely. Turning it off from a phone app may also land in Art Mode.

How do I turn on a Samsung Frame 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.

How do I charge a Samsung Frame TV 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 reset a Samsung Frame TV 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 restart a Samsung Frame TV?

Unplug the TV from the wall, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in. That full restart clears most freezes and remote problems. Afterward, give it a moment before you use your iPhone, since the TV has to rejoin Wi-Fi.

How do I let my iPhone turn on my Samsung Frame TV?

Turn on Power On with Mobile in the network Expert Settings. On 2017–2021 models it's Settings > General > 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 Frame TV. 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.

Does Art Mode count as off?

In Art Mode the TV is on and showing art. Samsung's 2022 e-Manual says a short press of the remote's power button while watching TV switches to Art Mode, and pressing and holding it turns the TV off completely. A phone app that sends power off may only switch the TV to Art Mode.

How do I tell which year my Frame is?

Read the letter after LS03: N 2018, R 2019, T 2020, A 2021, B 2022, C 2023, D 2024, F 2025. The 2017 model is LS003.

Can my iPhone turn the TV on?

Only from standby and only with Power On with Mobile turned on in the network Expert Settings.

About these TVs

The Frame is Samsung's lifestyle TV that shows art when you're not watching. It launched in 2017 as the LS003 and has been sold as the LS03 series every year since.

The year letter follows LS03: N 2018, R 2019, T 2020, A 2021, B 2022, C 2023, D 2024, F 2025. US codes started with UN in 2017–2018 (UN55LS03N) and QN from 2019 (QN55LS03R). UK codes start with UE or QE and add a suffix, for example QE55LS03TAUXXU.

The Frame runs the same Tizen software as Samsung's QLED TVs from the same year. Art Mode and standby are separate states, so the TV may show art instead of turning fully off.
