You've asked for this feature and since then, the wait has been a long journey. Our community pet peeve for a while, starts to get shape in our platform… :iphone:

Welcome to our remote control feature! :boom:

It's a great privilege for me to announce our initial test launch, for iOS users who are on the beta version of the app :minidisc:

You can now use your iPhone (or iPad) to control our desktop app, the Deezer web app, another iPhone or iPad.

How to access the remote control feature? :telephone_receiver:

You'll need to have the beta version of the Deezer app on iOS:

Open app > Settings > Deezer Labs
Activate Remote Control
Choose your track and click on the “Audio output” icon
Select the device you want to control

Given that there are vastly more devices running Android, I’m surprised that wasn’t first. Nevertheless, it’s great news!

May be „easy to do“ on iOS is the reason… ;-)

Trying to play my loved songs freezes the IOS app and crash it. However other playlists and the flow works just fine.

Seems like the delay is dependent on the playlist size.

Yes @Superschlumpf @DrEvil :sweat_smile: it's technically more accessible - but bear in mind, it's to get the feature out as soon as possible, so that it can be a reality.

Desktop app (Win / Mac) also works. The setting for the remote control is taken from the web version.

Edit: Ups, @Superschlumpf already wrote that. :no_mouth:

No problem to mention again, Dirk. Because before it should have worked, but now it really works. ;-)

The deezer client apps are shown on iPhone by name of pc/mac.
Webversion uses the browser name.

Sometimes there comes up an error message. I don’t know why…

And sometimes you have to confirm remote control again after skipping songs.

Thanks for sharing the feedback with us @Superschlumpf that's great! We'll keep on improving it.

Just FYI for everyone, the desktop app version which will enable this for testing is 5.30 :relaxed:

I can’t add a song to the queue, if remote play is activated.However with remote play off i can add the song. Also through the browser (the device i’m listening on) i’m able to add the song.
