“Smart View” settings can mean a few different things depending on your device: a TV’s casting feature, a phone’s screen-sharing menu, or a kid-safe “smart view” mode inside a family app. The fastest way to change the right settings is to start from where Smart View is actually being used (your phone/tablet, the TV, or the parental control app), then adjust permissions, device visibility, and time-based rules.
On most phones/tablets, open the Quick Settings panel (swipe down from the top), then tap Smart View (or Screen Cast). From there, select the TV/device you’re connecting to, and open the Smart View options (often a gear icon or a three-dot menu). Common settings you can change include connection permissions (ask every time vs. auto-connect), sound output, and whether notifications appear while sharing.
If you’re prompted for permission every time you connect, the TV may be set to “always ask.” Open the TV’s settings, look for Screen Mirroring, Cast, or External Device Manager, and then change the Device Connection Manager options. You can usually control whether new devices can discover the TV, whether a PIN is required, and whether previously approved devices remain allowed.
If Smart View is part of your family’s screen rules (for example, limiting when or where screen sharing is allowed), change the settings inside your parental controls: adjust allowed apps, set downtime, and create routines that automatically enable or block features during homework, bedtime, or family time.

Confirm both devices are on the same Wi‑Fi network, then restart the phone/tablet and TV. Also check the TV’s cast/screen mirroring settings to ensure the TV is discoverable and not blocking new devices.
