Philo is a popular live and on-demand streaming service, but as of now, there is no native Philo app available directly in the Samsung Smart TV app store for all models.
Here’s how you can watch Philo on your Samsung TV:
For Samsung Smart TVs (2018 and newer)
On some Samsung Smart TVs (2018+), check if Philo is directly available in the Samsung Smart Hub/App Store.
If available, search for “Philo,” download the app, and log in with your account credentials.
If not visible, proceed with the alternative methods below.
If the Philo App Is Not Available
Use a Streaming Device: The most reliable method is connecting a supported streaming device (like Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, or Apple TV) to your Samsung TV’s HDMI port.
Install the Philo app on your streaming device.
Log in and start watching Philo content.
This method works for all Samsung TV models (regardless of year), as long as your TV has an HDMI port.
Screen Mirroring / Casting
If you have a mobile device or tablet:
Open the Philo app (or use philo.com in a browser)
Use the built-in screen mirroring or Chromecast/AirPlay options to cast content to your Samsung TV if supported.
Tips
Make sure both your TV and device are on the same Wi-Fi network for casting/screen mirroring to work smoothly.
For time zone issues on Samsung TVs, Philo determines the time zone by your IP address, not the TV’s internal settings. If you experience incorrect times, check your network/IP location.
Summary: For most Samsung TV users, the best option to watch Philo is via an external streaming device like Roku, Fire Stick, or Apple TV, since the native app may not be present on all models.
