Xbox One SmartGlass allows users to control features of their Xbox One from their phone or tablet.
The Xbox One SmartGlass app can be used to control the keyboard and touch inputs on your Xbox One, as well as the power on and off functions. This makes it easy to relax on the couch, or even in another room, while preparing your Xbox One for gameplay.
You can also use the Xbox One SmartGlass app to navigate to apps and media within your console, which is great for people who want to switch between game titles or streamed episodes without having to remove their Xbox One controller from it's charging port.
The SmartGlass app for Xbox One also allows you to download companion material for games and media, such as subtitles, to enhance your viewing experience. Many users also enjoy the messaging function of the SmartGlass app, since it's often easier to type long messages on a phone screen than with the standard Xbox One controller.
You can even watch trailers, clips, and other material from the Microsoft Xbox Store or storage drive using your smartphone with the SmartGlass app. This app is free to download for all Xbox One users.
