Possible causes for the Philo app not working on Samsung Smart TVs includes:

• Software bugs: There may be bugs in the Samsung TV software or the Philo app that are causing compatibility issues. Software bugs are common and updating the Philo app and Samsung TV software usually fixes these bugs.
• App compatibility issues: The Philo app may have compatibility problems with certain Samsung TV models. The app is updated frequently to add support for more TV models, so updating the app can often address these compatibility problems. In some cases, Philo may need to issue an update to specifically address compatibility with select TV models.
• Internet connectivity: For the Philo app to function, it requires a consistent and fast internet connection. If your TV is not connected to the internet or is facing Wi-Fi signal problems, it can cause the Philo app to not work properly or at all. Make sure your TV has a working network connection.
• System resources overload: The Philo app requires system resources like storage, memory, and processing power to work smoothly on Samsung TVs. If your TV has limited resources or too many apps open, it may cause the Philo app to crash or freeze. Restarting your TV can free up resources and fix this issue.
• Account or subscription issues: There may be issues with your Philo login credentials or subscription that is causing problems accessing content on your Samsung TV. Make sure your Philo subscription is active and double check that you are using the correct login email and password on your TV.
• Hardware issues: In rare cases, there may be an underlying hardware issue with your Samsung TV that is causing software problems with the Philo app. If the problem persists after trying all the software related steps, it may indicate a hardware fault. You may need to have your TV serviced to diagnose and resolve any hardware issues.
