My sky Q remote has broken and I have another ordered but in the mean time I wanted to use my ojone as the remote. In the sky Q and sky go app I should be able to go to Settings, then Devices & access my sky box using my phone which is attached to my account. But the only options is sky then devices is the option to delete my devices. I was on the phone nearly 40 mins with a technician trying to figure out why I can't see that option. I have re installed all the apps again incase it needed updating, but still had no look.
hi @Hjbradn115
The virtual remote on SKY Go is currently only available for ios devices. - although it is planned for Android it has not yet been released

Re: Using mobile as remote
Yes, under the Sky Go app there's a small icon in the top right-hand side, this is the remote, click on this & it's the same layout as a standard remote.
I don’t work for Sky.
If I have helped then please leave a like.

hi @DiMach6695
This is an old discussion, the android version was updated to include the virtual remote a couple of months or so ago, thus it should be availble for you.

The post above on the 21st April says the Android version was already released back then.

Re: Using mobile as remote
I can assure you I have updated the app and it's still not showing on the My Sky app for android, otherwise I wouldn't have asked.
