The Xbox SmartGlass, the interface that lets you connect tablets and phones to your Xbox 360 and Xbox One, is still not used all that often. Luckily, some brand new functionality is coming which will allow you to control your Xbox One DVR through your smart devices. The new SmartGlass functionality will allow you to:
- Navigate game options so you can quickly get to the full list of Achievements, challenges, and game clips without jumping through multiple screens.
- View recent players to find people you recently gamed with, easily add them as a friend, or issue a rematch challenge.
- Sort the Friends list by online status for a quick view of what your friends are doing.
- View your Activity Feed in a way that matches the view on your console.
- Launch an app in Snap from your mobile device, and when you’re done, simply unsnap it.
- Receive Xbox Live messaging alerts on your mobile device, making it easier to stay in touch with friends when you’re on the go.
The Xbox SmartGlass app is completely free and can be downloaded on both iOS and Android.
