 It’s fascinating how tech keeps making everyday stuff more convenient, but there’s always that unpredictable moment when things don’t work perfectly, like Wi-Fi glitches or app crashes. Still, being able to control devices from anywhere in the room definitely changes how we interact with our gadgets. Sometimes small tech improvements make the biggest difference in daily life.

Yeah, I switched to using my iPhone as a Remote Control  a while back, and it’s honestly super handy once you get the hang of it. I mostly use it to control my music and streaming apps without getting up. What helped me was finding an app that works reliably over Wi-Fi — this is what I use, ANCHOR — it’s pretty stable and easy to connect. Just make sure your phone and computer are on the same network, or it won’t sync properly. Saves me tons of time during movie nights!

Has anyone here tried using their iPhone as a remote control for their computer or media setup? I just set it up last weekend because my actual remote broke, and honestly, it’s been a game-changer. I can pause videos, change songs, even control presentations from across the room. Just wondering if there are any must-try apps or tips to make it even smoother?
