Smart View

When are Samsung going to replace Smart View or at the very least upgrade the app??

Seems pointless just getting rid of a perfectly good and useful app..but I must say it does not surprise me!

Hi @Traveller1  Smart view was phased out  in October 2020 in favour of SmartThings.  Whilst customers who have already downloaded the app can continue to use the app it is longer being supported it is  no longer available in the App stores.   However SmartThings is not compatible with any Tv's released before 2016  https://www.engadget.com/samsung-killing-smart-view-app-103148010.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aH...

Does smart things screen mirror? I'm completely confused as to how an app with different functionality replaces it.

@Mick24: SmartThings can automatically detect and connect to most Samsung TV's manufactured from 2016 onwards. To find out more, please check out the link below and click on 'Connecting using SmartThings'.

What is Screen Mirroring and how do I use it with my Samsung TV and Samsung mobile device? | Samsung...

I understand that Smart View is no longer supported however, the SmartThings app is NOT compatible with NON Samsung TV.
