This all-new upgrade from Sky is one you won't want to miss. The nightmare of losing the remote down the side of the sofa is finally over thanks to a neat little update from Sky. The satellite telly firm has just released an upgrade to its Sky Go App which instantly turns iPhones into a virtual remote. That means when you can't find the official Sky channel changer you can use your smartphone instead. Although this update is only available on iPhones for now, Sky has promised that it will also be coming to Android devices in the future. So how do you find this update and what's included? Once you have the latest version of the Sky Go app installed on your iPhone then you simply need to open the application, then tap on the Settings cog in the top left-hand corner of the screen. As long as your smartphone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Q box you should then see the option which says "Sky Q Remote". Tap on this and the screen will turn into a virtual controller. There are full Sky buttons including the option to record, pause TV, change channels, search and even hit the red button. Confirming the release, Sky said in a post on its community page: 'We have a new update to Sky Go, which includes a virtual Sky Q remote! This new version also has a dark mode for accessibility customers and a new configurable home page. This is a phased rollout plan to customers, with the rollout scheduled to be completed by the 17th July. ' It's worth noting that your iPhone will need to be running iOS 13 for the update to work. Of course, if you are on Android or have an old iPhone you can still track down your remote by pressing the Q logo on the front of the Sky box. This will set off the in-built alarm that's tucked inside the Q remote.){kind=link}
