Did they remove the mirroring TV to phone feature? I remember i used to do it years back and got curious about it so wanted to give it a try but seems like I can only mirror my phone to the TV and not the other way around. Does Anyone know Why? Yes I have a galaxy phone and yes I have a 2023 samsung tv

Smart View still exists on phones capable of it. And the S24 should be capable.  You can find it in the settings or by pulling down the Quick Panel.  Your receiving device also must be capable of screen mirroring in order to cast to it, though.  Most older TVs need an intermediary device, such as a streaming stick or box to cast to. Most newer TVs are capable.  Not every device is capable of receiving, nor are all TVs able to cast.  They are receivers only.  I believe the phones are capable of receiving from a capable device (perhaps another phone or tablet), since there is a setting in Smart View to receive from another device.  Only compatible devices will show up in that list.

I too used to be able to cast both ways, but after 2 updates ago, can no longer cast from my Samsung TV to my phone.
Can this be brought back? Right now my workaround is using my OLD Samsung tablet to watch my TV while cooking instead of my phone.

Same issue with my Z Fold 5. I used to watch from 2 different Samsung TVs in my house, but after an update only to TV not from. My Husband has same issue as me and his is also Samsung phone. Glad to know we didn't wake up dump 1 day and others are having same experience. Why Samsung? Why? Especially Samsung to Samsung devices...Why?
