I have purchased this phone this week and I cannot see smart view nowhere. Some other people had the same issue as I have seen on internet. I also heard that the previous A series had smart view but why not on this device? I am going to refund it back to the store if there is no smart view because I use it a lot in my daily life.
I've always loved the ease of use of having a video/picture file i wish to stream using the my local network using the play content feature instead of mirroring screen. The quality is often better and I can utilise the smart TV or console remote for playback.
see photo...it use to show up there. but now even though the TV's on and visible on the network it doesn't find it. when I go to mirror screen option on the LG TV it doesn't show up there either, but will when I go to play a video and select the smart view, but still only getting the option to mirror screen.
Once a device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as a Smart TV, consumers can immediately use the Smart View service simply by choosing which TV set to connect with. At the push of a button, this intuitive, newly designed app can instantly transfer content stored on mobile devices and PCs to TVs. Consumers can also use multiple functions simultaneously, and access other apps on their mobile devices without affecting the sharing function. For example, consumers can browse the internet on their smartphone, while watching a movie via Smart View on their Samsung Smart TV.
Consumers can install the updated Samsung Smart View app on their mobile device from the Google Play, App Store and also onto their Windows PC** by visiting www.samsung.com/smartview. Once installed, users can enjoy a range of Smart View features, including the ability to create playlists for music, video and photos, easily switch between these content types and instantly share content with any Samsung Smart TV on the same Wi-Fi network.

Seems smart view does something that overides everything fir power saving. Even activating always on in developer options doesnt do the trick.
Several of the stock alway on apps out there have no effect either.
So I bought the silver S8 and received it yesterday, but one major difference is that with smart view (screen mirror > Samsung 4K TV) doesn't show apps like Plex (720p or 1080p) in fullscreen, there's a border around the top and sides on the TV. Didn't have this with the S6edge+ 1080p does look better, but again, isn't full screen like with the S6edge+
Well I figured it out yesterday while streaming iFollow to my Samsung TV, the smart view has a new setting to force 16:9 streaming which properly fills the TV screen, for anyone that ends up here looking for the fix.
Hi Luke, She is running it via the Android app already playing. And then she selects the Smart view toggle from then noticiation centre. And because she's not a native English speaker, she has her subtitles set to "always play" in her settings.
This technology is built in to most newer Samsung smart TVs. However, your phone or tablet must be connected to the same network as your TV in order to use this function. If Smart View is not working, restarting or rebooting your device will usually solve the issue.(copy/paste from the link below)
Back in 2020, Samsung removed the Smart View app that allowed users to turn their smartphones into remotes for Samsung TVs. In place of the app's absence, Samsung didn't leave device owners without another option. Samsung's SmartThings app can do many of the same things, including acting as a remote for a TV and a master control point for an entire smart home.
SmartThings is a software development company owned by Samsung that works to connect all smart devices in the home. The SmartThings app, like the Smart View app, works as a controller for Samsung TVs. However, it does much more than that as it can also control other compatible devices as well. Therein is arguably the biggest difference between the two apps. While Smart View worked with TVs, SmartThings works with the whole smart home.
The SmartThings app can control multiple devices, but in order to do so, users must have a SmartThings hub (or a 'brain') to wirelessly connect all their smart devices together. Users can get a smart hub, Wi-Fi router, or even a security hub to do this. Once set up, users can link their devices together through the hub or link them through the app itself. In order to add devices to the SmartThings app, open it and tap the '+' sign in the top-right corner. Users can also connect to many devices and organize them by room, and once connected, the user will be able to make many on-demand changes to the device (such as adjusting the temperature of a thermostat or turning lights on or off).
A quick Google search for 'Samsung Smart View' displays a Samsung web page as the first result. The website can be a bit misleading, since it shows how to broadcast content with Smart View from a smartphone or laptop to a Samsung smart TV. There are even links to the Smart View app on the Galaxy Store, Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and Windows. Clicking on the links, however, reveals that the apps have been taken down. Essentially, this is an old website, and the Smart View app doesn't exist anymore. Samsung should have taken the web page down, but since it hasn't, don't be confused into thinking that the app is still available.
There are other results that show up in Google search, including a Samsung Smart View - Cast To app, but this isn't made by Samsung, and according to the reviews, it doesn't work very well. A similar app called Smart View - Cast Device To TV is listed on the Apple App Store, but this one too isn't made by Samsung. In conclusion, those who want the functionality of Samsung Smart View will need to download the SmartThings app.
Users can choose from connected refrigerators, washing machines, microwaves, ovens, robot vacuums, dishwashers, air conditioners, and other home appliances that work with SmartThings, and control them all with a single app. Samsung has also introduced the SmartThings Station, a hub which can connect and control all these devices and others, like smart lights, thermostats, power outlets and more. The SmartThings Station has a Smart Button which can start up to three routines with single, double, or long press action. Additionally, Samsung's smart home hub even doubles up as a wireless charging pad.

Smart View is Samsung's version of screen mirroring and media casting feature. It is based on Miracast, so it works with Mircast-compatible devices like Windows PCs, Xbox, and several other smart TVs. It also allows streaming TV content to a phone, but the feature only works between Samsung's smart TVs, phones, and tablets.
If AirPlay isn't working and the screen mirroring feature isn't activating, your Wi-Fi connection may be disabled, or the AirPlay devices, such as your iPhone and smart TV, may not be turned on or close enough to each other. Try restarting your devices to fix the issue.
Step 1. Pull down the notification menu and Select the Samsung Screen Mirroring (Smart View) option. Your device will automatically scan for TVs and other smart devices to which they can be mirrored.
Step 2. Select the device which you want to connect. At this time we have to connect the TV. Make sure your TV must have the screen mirroring function switched on. Your device will now successfully by connecting to your TV.
Step 3. Once connected, your mobile device screen will now be displayed on the TV.
Samsung released the Smart View app for its Galaxy II S smartphone in 2011, in addition to control apps for Android and iOS, but as the iPad becomes increasingly popular as a "second screen" for companies such as ESPN it could be time for Samsung to unveil Smart View on Apple devices as well.
