LG Smart TV and webOS: A Streaming Navigation Guide

LG Smart TVs run webOS, recognizable by its horizontal launcher bar of app icons and cards along the bottom of the screen rather than a full-screen menu.

Getting around webOS

• The Home button opens the launcher bar without leaving whatever you're currently watching
• The Magic Remote can act as a pointer — point and click instead of navigating with directional buttons
• Long-press the Home button for quick access to recently used inputs and apps

Reordering and removing apps

Apps in the launcher bar can be dragged to reorder them, or removed entirely if you don't use them — useful once your row of icons gets crowded.

If the Magic Remote isn't cooperating

Re-pairing it usually resolves pointer drift or unresponsiveness — see our broader guide on Smart TV remote not working if the issue persists.
