Netflix: use iPhone as a remote control - how it works
This guide shows you how to use your iPhone as a remote control on Netflix. You can use the remote connection to search for tracks on your iPhone and then easily stream them on your PS4 or Mac.
On the Playstation: Use the iPhone as a remote control for Netflix - simply via the app
Download the free Netflix app and open the app. You must also be logged into the Playstation Netflix app on your Playstation.
- In the iOS app, tap the rectangular icon in the top right.
- At this point, select your PS4 instead of your "iPhone".
- Now navigate to the film of your choice in the iOS app and start the streak using the play button. Streaming starts on your TV.
- You can now go back 30 seconds in the bottom bar or click on the pause icon.
- Click on the title in the lower bar to have even more options. You will find a stop button here, for example, or you can jump directly to a point in the film using the time bar.
On the PC: "Netflix Remote" app
With the paid "Netflix Remote" app, you can control Netflix and YouTube videos from the iPhone app.
