Xbox Companion App on iPhone

They said at e3 the companion app will work with all phones it's just the fallout shelter game that's iPhone only

1) Turn on your Xbox 360.

2) Navigate to the Settings section and then select "System" to open the System Settings screen.

3) Select "Console Settings" to open the Console Settings window.

4) Highlight "Xbox Companion" to open the Xbox Companion screen. On the right side of the Console Settings window, you'll see that the current setting for the Xbox Companion is unavailable.

5) Select "Xbox Companion" to open the Xbox Companion window.

6) Select "Available." You'll automatically return to the Console Settings page where Xbox Companion is highlighted.

7) Ensure your iPhone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Xbox 360 and then open the My Xbox LIVE app you just installed on your iPhone.

8) Place a finger on your iPhone screen and flick it to the left three times to navigate through three sets of screens until you arrive at the Quickplay screen.

9) Tap the green "Connect to Xbox" button at the top of the Quickplay screen. The Connect to Your Console screen appears on your iPhone screen, telling you how your iPhone and Xbox 360 should be set up before you proceed.

10) Tap "Next." The green Connect to Xbox icon at the top of the Quickplay screen features a spinning icon and says "Connecting." A message appears on your Xbox 360 screen notifying you that you just connected to your Xbox 360 via Xbox Companion. Additionally,
the green box at the top of the Quickplay screen turns into a gray box that says "Choose something to start on your Xbox." Beneath the gray box will be a list of apps installed on your Xbox 360 and any game that's currently in your console.

11) Tap the icon featuring three dots in the lower-right corner of the app to bring up a menu and then select "Controller." A black screen appears on your iPhone that features an "A" with four arrows around it on the top half of the screen, and then the
"Y," "X" and "B" buttons on the lower half of the screen. You can use this screen to navigate through the menus on your Xbox 360's screen.

12) From the Quickplay menu you can select the game that's in the Xbox 360 console to launch the game on the Xbox 360, or you can select an app to launch that app on your Xbox 360. Some apps, such as the Netflix app, bring up the controller on your iPhone's
screen and give you the option of navigating the app using that controller.

I hope that this helps and you get it working

Same problem here with iPhone & ipad. I have the correct app, am signed in & connected, but the companion won't let me click the home button. I've had it working a couple of times but it only seems to work maybe 1 time in 10.

Hello AhhItsFrankieG,

If you have the latest dashboard update, the Xbox Companion option has been changed to Smartglass. This can be found in the same place where the Xbox Companion was in Settings > System > Console Settings > Connected Devices > Xbox SmartGlass Apps > On.

If your iPhone has the latest iOS 6.0, unfortunately the My Xbox LIVE application will not work as of yet (in terms of the smartglass functionality). They have not yet updated the application for iOS 6.0 support. This is being worked on and I'm sure it'll be
updated soon.

Oh, in your PC these are the steps

Open the xbox console companion app > settings > network
If the app is not installed in your PC, you can download it from the Microsoft store.

Probably is going to say open again. But double check when you can.
