No Tap View in SmartThings

Hi,

I have a Galaxy A13 5G . When I go to settings in SmartThings there is no option for Tap View. Anyone know how I can get it to display? My Samsung TV has been successfully added.

@Chris G, Samsung website says that you need to have Galaxy S8 or later. I think this feature is only available for flaghship devices.

The Galaxy A13 doesn't support smart view, but there's no way it will deny Google Home from Play store. Download it and detect your newly bought Samsung TV with it, add it to device list, then you're able to mirror screens. If not, then what's required to perform the mirroring is Chromecast. Just simply a Google Chromecast dongle set up by the Google Home application can give an experience of mirroring.
Just download Google Home on Play store and get a simple Chromecast...
Plug the Chromecast to a TV,
Detect the Chromecast with the Google Home application,
Follow the steps to connect it to WiFi,
Wait for it... then you're done! ✔️ Finally you can easily mirror and cast videos/music to a display without lag.
Additional settings are:
Get Quick Settings on Play Store,
Open it, click on Multimedia,
Tap on the Cast-icon tile to enable it (beware of adverts)
Scroll down from the top of the screen
Edit the buttons to get the Cast-icon,
Drag it to the panel,
Then you are all set.
