If you have an iOS device, you can use an AirPlay-compatible app to cast your iPhone to Android TV. For example, if you want to control YouTube on Android TV with a full set of features like commenting, liking videos, easier search, navigation, and more, you must look beyond casting. Google, on the other hand, has introduced a new "Connect" feature that does away with local casting. It essentially allows you to control YouTube on Android TV from your iPhone or Android phone without having to be on the same Wi-Fi network. And in this article, we'll show you how to use YouTube's new "Connect" feature. Requirements for Using an iPhone or an Android to Control YouTube on an Android TV Your Google account must be the same on YouTube and on your Android TV as it is on your smartphone - with Android, iOS, or iPadOS. YouTube should be updated on your smartphone and Android TV. Google has not specified a specific version for the 'Connect' feature to function, but to avoid any mishaps, update the YouTube app to the most recent version. The 'Connect' feature is not the same as the traditional casting feature found on other apps. In the background, YouTube account syncing is taking place. To use the 'Connect' feature, none of your devices must be connected to the local Wi-Fi network. You can use mobile data while your TV is connected to Wi-Fi and still control YouTube on Android TV from your smartphone.

A "Connect" button will appear directly below. Tap it to activate it. Your Android phone or iPhone will be instantly connected to the Android TV. If something is already playing on YouTube, the progress will be displayed. Remember that you are not casting but rather connecting to YouTube on Android TV through your YouTube account.

You can now use your smartphone to search for YouTube videos, fast forward the clip, leave a comment, add more videos to the queue, read comments, and more.

The best part is that you can use voice search and your iPhone or Android phone as a remote control for YouTube on your Android TV.
