Quick overview
Samsung Flow, developed by a leading global tech company, lets you view and interact with your phone’s content on larger displays such as tablets and desktop computers. It also synchronizes files and forwards notifications so you can work across devices without constantly switching. For the smoothest experience, make sure your devices run the latest system updates and that Samsung Flow (and any companion apps) are up to date.
Getting ready
Before connecting, confirm these basics:
- Ensure both devices (phone and tablet/PC) are powered on and within range.
- Verify Bluetooth, Wi‑Fi, or the required connection method is enabled on both devices.
- Update your phone’s OS and any relevant apps if you haven’t done so recently.
Pairing your phone with a tablet or PC
To link devices and start using Samsung Flow:
- Open the Samsung Flow app on both the phone and the tablet/PC.
- From the list that appears, choose the device you want to pair with.
- Confirm that the passcode shown on each screen matches, then accept to complete pairing.
- If pairing fails, double-check that both devices have the latest software versions and try again.
Managing which notifications appear
Control which app alerts show up on connected devices by adjusting notification settings:
- Launch Samsung Flow on your phone.
- Open Settings and go to the Manage notifications section.
- If you can’t see the option, tap the three-dot menu to reveal additional choices.
- Toggle on or off the individual apps whose notifications you want to forward to your tablet/PC.
Starting screen mirroring (Smart View)
To mirror your phone display on a larger screen:
- On the tablet or PC, open Samsung Flow and click the Smart View icon.
- Your phone’s screen will appear in a resizable window.
- Use the available controls to switch to full-screen, change orientation, or adjust the display resolution.
Benefits and security
Samsung Flow is built to reduce friction when moving between devices. Key advantages include:
- Unified access: view messages, apps, and files from your phone on a larger display.
- Selective notifications: choose which app alerts are forwarded so you stay focused.
- Secure connections: pairing and passcode confirmation help protect your data while devices are linked.
If you run into persistent issues, restarting both devices or reinstalling Samsung Flow can resolve many common problems.
