You can control your Xbox 360 with your phone! It’s pretty cool, actually. If you have an iPhone or an Android phone, you can download the My Xbox Live app and use it to control your Xbox 360 console.
I personally have an iPhone, so I can speak more to that experience. Once you download the My Xbox Live app, you can sign in with your Xbox Live account and connect to your Xbox 360. From there, you’ll have access to a bunch of different features and options.
One of the main things you can do with the app is control your Xbox 360’s media playback. You can use your phone as a remote control to pause, play, fast forward, and rewind movies and TV shows that you’re watching on your Xbox. It’s really convenient if you’re sitting on the couch and don’t feel like reaching for the controller.
The app also lets you navigate through your Xbox’s menus and launch games and apps. You can use your phone as a virtual controller, with a D-pad and buttons on the screen. It’s not quite the same as using a physical controller, but it works pretty well for simple navigation tasks.
Another cool feature of the My Xbox Live app is the ability to type on your Xbox using your phone’s keyboard. You can easily enter text for searches or messages without having to use the on-screen keyboard on your TV. It saves a lot of time and frustration, trust me.
Now, if you have a Windows Phone, you actually have a different app available to you. It’s called the Xbox Companion app. It functions similarly to the My Xbox Live app, but it’s specifically designed for Windows Phone users.
With the Xbox Companion app, you can control your Xbox 360’s media playback, navigate through menus, and launch games and apps, just like with the My Xbox Live app. It also has the handy feature of being able to search for content on your Xbox using voice commands. You can simply speak into your phone and it will search for movies, TV shows, music, and games on your Xbox. It’s pretty cool and makes searching for content a breeze.
So, no matter what kind of phone you have, you can definitely control your Xbox 360 with it. Whether you’re using the My Xbox Live app on iOS or Android, or the Xbox Companion app on Windows Phone, you’ll have a convenient and easy way to interact with your Xbox 360 console from the palm of your hand. It’s a great feature that adds a whole new level of convenience to your gaming and media experience.
