Sony
has developed the PlayStation mobile app in order to bring your smartphone and
PlayStation 4 together. The PlayStation mobile app allows you to browse
PlayStation profiles, compare trophies, and purchase content from within the
app.
This
will then automatically download to your console as long as it’s active or in
standby mode. The app lacks some functionality but it remains a worthwhile
companion for PS4 owners.
Messaging is no longer supported on the app, so contacting a friend on the PSN (PlayStation Network) or checking your PlayStation account from your phone requires that you use Sony’s new My PlayStation social portal in your web browser.
Introduced
in February 2018, the My PlayStation lets you message friends, view trophies,
and update your profile on the go. Only the app, however, allows you to connect
directly to your console
Steps to connecting
your PlayStation 4 to a smartphone or tablet
Before
downloading the PlayStation application for iOS or Android, update your
smartphone or tablet to the latest version of the operating system. For iOS
users, you’ll want at least version 6.0, while Android users will need version
4.0 at the very least.
Once updated, enter “PlayStation” in the search field in iTunes or Google Play. Then do the following once installed:
1. Sign
in to your PSN account
2. Tap
the Connect to PS4 button in the bottom-left corner of the PlayStation
application
3. Select
the Second Screen option
4. Type
the code that should appear on your TV screen in the text field on your
smartphone or tablet
5. Select
Register
At
this point your device should start synching, giving you access to most of the
app’s features such as:
1. Events
2. Live-streams
3. The
PlayStation Store
The
biggest difference you’ll notice once your phone and console is that PS4 games,
such as Metal Gear Solid V and Watch Dogs, feature companion functionality you
can use while gaming.
Sharing
is caring so share this interesting gaming tip with your friends.
