How it works

A full Sony TV remote on your iPhone

Made for Bravia

Sony Bravia runs Google TV / Android TV, so Zap connects natively over your Wi-Fi — D-pad, volume, power and playback.

No line of sight

It works over the network, so you can control your Sony TV from anywhere in the room, not just pointing at it.

Search in seconds

Use your iPhone keyboard to type into Sony's Google TV search — no more hunting letters with a D-pad.

Works with every Google TV and Android TV Sony Bravia

Sony has built its Bravia TVs on Android TV since 2015 and on Google TV in its newer models, so almost any smart Sony Bravia pairs with Zap over Wi‑Fi. You don’t need the model number — if your Sony shows the Android TV or Google TV home screen, Zap connects to it and gives you a full remote: D‑pad, playback, volume, a keyboard and voice search. It’s ideal when the slim Bravia remote goes missing between the cushions, and it adds a proper on‑screen keyboard so you can type into YouTube or Netflix without nudging one letter at a time.

Sony Bravia TVs from 2015 onwards run Android TV or Google TV and work with Zap over Wi‑Fi. Older non‑Android Bravia sets aren't supported.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Does Zap work with all Sony Bravia TVs?
Zap works with any Sony Bravia running Android TV or Google TV — that’s almost every smart Bravia from 2015 onward. The TV and your phone just need to be on the same Wi‑Fi.
Do I still need my Sony remote?
No. Zap gives you every button — D-pad, OK, back, home, volume, power and playback — so your phone fully replaces a lost or broken Sony remote.
Which Sony TVs are supported?
Any Sony Bravia running Google TV or Android TV (most models from 2015 on). Older non-Android Sony sets aren't supported.
My Sony remote is lost — can I still use the TV?
Yes, as long as the TV is on and on Wi‑Fi. To power a fully‑off Bravia on, enable Network Standby in its settings so Zap can wake it.
Do I need the Sony remote to start?
Only for the very first TV setup. After that, Zap replaces the Bravia remote day to day.
Can Zap replace a lost Sony TV remote?
Yes. As long as the Bravia is on and on Wi‑Fi, Zap is a full replacement for a lost or broken Sony remote, with a keyboard and voice search built in.
