On the LG B6 OLED 4K HDR Smart TV - 65" Class home screen, there is a persistent reminder to try out the LG TV Plus feature.  LG TV Plus allows you to use a phone like the Google Pixel to act like another remote control .

If you select the LG TV Plus icon, LG will pull up a Magic Mobile Connection screen so that you can use your phone to scan a QR code to quickly find the App.

You can also just go to Google Play on the Google Pixel to download and install the LG TV Plus App.  

  

You'll need to give the App permission related to accessing photos, media, files, and calendar as well as make and manage phone calls.

  

The LG TV Plus App has two modes- control and full function.  Control allows you to simply use the phone as a Magic Remote Control while the Full Function Mode also allows you to play content from your phone to the TV and access more features.

  

To use either of these modes, you'll need to first pair the phone with the LG B6 OLED 4K HDR Smart TV - 65" Class.  If the phone is on the same WI-FI network as the TV, you should be able to see the TV listed in the App as available to be paired.  The PIN that you see on the TV can then be entered into the App to complete the pairing process.

  

In Control Mode, you can change the channels and volume, as well as use the phone's screen as a Touchpad.  You can also more easily launch Apps on the TV from the phone.

  

If you select Full Function Mode, you will need to log in using either a LG, Google, or Facebook account.

  

   

Once logged in, you can start a tour of the Magic Mobile Connection although the tour's screenshots are light on detail.

  

In Full Feature Mode, you can browse for content, check the TV Guide, and play content from your phone to the LG B6 OLED 4K HDR Smart TV - 65" Class.
