Samsung smartphones and tablets with Android include an application called Smart View which allows us to visualize a list of devices connected to our Wi-Fi network to be able to transmit multimedia content wirelessly.

In this way, we can select a device compatible with the Google Cast and Miracast protocols to be able to send multimedia content from our mobile and/or tablet towards those devices.

Many people use this application to transmit the Samsung mobile or tablet screen towards TVs and Google Cast devices, such as Chromecast, Android TV devices, etc..However, when updating their Samsung device to Android 11, they encountered a problem.

One UI 3 Smart View application.0 (Android 11), no longer allows you to send content to devices that use the Google Cast protocol, limiting only to Samsung's own equipment or equipment, causing user discomfort.

In Android 10:

In Android 11:

The claims reached the Samsung forums and there a community moderator confirmed that Smart View effectively on Android 11 is no longer compatible with Google Live devices because there is a connection problem.

It is not clear if we will have this compatibility on Android 11 again, but for now, Samsung recommends using the Google Home application available in Play Store to be able to double the smartphone or tablet screen directly on Google devices.

So you know estimated reader, if you are a smart view user and when updating to Android 11 you find this problem, because you already know the reason for the problem and its temporal solution.
