Note: Your U-verse TV receiver must first be set to allow communication and control from the U-verse app.
Make sure your U-verse TV receiver is correctly paired with the app.
The U-verse app is fully screen reader accessible to help guide you through the different options on your smart device. The main icons are found at the top of the U-verse app on the Samsung tablet used in these descriptions. Your smart device may have similar features with the screen menus and icons arranged differently.
My U-verse: When you open the U-verse app, the default screen is My U-verse. This recommends features for you on your device or connected receiver.
- You’ll find three recommended choices, along with additional content organized in rows titled On Now, On Next, On Demand, and more.
