Do you want to view your Android phone photos on a big Smart TV screen and play them automatically as a slideshow? You can easily do this wirelessly without installing any additional screen mirroring or photo-casting app. You only need the Google Photos app on your Android phone and a Smart TV with built-in Chromecast or Google Cast support.
This method allows you to display your phone's pictures on your television and automatically play them one after another. You don't need to manually change each image.
Steps to Play Android Phone Photos as an Automatic Slideshow on Smart TV
Step 1: Open Google Photos on Your Phone
First, open the Google Photos app on your Android phone. Make sure the pictures you want to display on your Smart TV are available in Google Photos.
Step 2: Open Your Photo Album
Now, go to the Collections or Albums section in Google Photos and open the album containing the pictures you want to display on your television.
Step 3: Tap the Cast Icon
Once you open your album, tap the Cast icon available at the top of the screen. Your phone will search for compatible devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Select your Smart TV from the available devices. Wait for the connection to establish.
Step 4: Open Any Image
After connecting your phone to the Smart TV, open any picture from your selected album. The image will appear on your television screen.
Step 5: Select the Slideshow Option
Now, tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner of Google Photos. From the available options, select Slideshow.
Step 6: Enjoy Automatic Photo Slideshow
That's it! Your selected photos will automatically play one after another on your Smart TV screen. You can sit back and enjoy your favourite pictures on the big screen without manually switching between images.
Important: Your Smart TV Must Support Chromecast
This wireless slideshow method requires your Smart TV to have built-in Chromecast or Google Cast support. Not every Android Smart TV supports this feature.
If your TV doesn't appear in the Cast device list, check whether it supports Google Cast, make sure both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and verify that the TV's casting feature is enabled.
Conclusion
Playing Android phone photos as an automatic slideshow on a Smart TV is simple with Google Photos. Just open your album, connect your TV using the Cast icon, open an image, tap the three-dot menu and select Slideshow. Your pictures will automatically appear one after another on the big screen.
The best part is that you don't need to install any additional third-party photo-casting or screen-mirroring application. You can enjoy your photo collection wirelessly, provided your Smart TV supports built-in Chromecast or Google Cast.
