The Android Google TV app could possibly get a built-in remote control for Android TVs. This feature is yet to be released, was discovered in the code for version 4.25 of the Android app. Activating the feature unveils an apparently unfinished interface built around a huge D-pad and the option to pair the app with an Android TV device using a 4-digit PIN.
The discovery of the new code coincides with a renewed push from Google to update and modernize its smart TV software. Just last year it launched a Chromecast with a new Google TV interface for the operating system, and this software will be available as a built-in operating system to smart TVs this year.
Google technically already has an Android TV app on iOS and Android that offers this functionality, but neither version has been updated in years. We wouldn’t be surprised if both ended up being discontinued if the feature gets rolled in the Google TV app.
