About PS4 Second Screen

Use your mobile device to control your PS4™.

What PS4 Second Screen Is Used For

PS4 Second Screen appears to be a companion app for a PlayStation 4 console, designed for use on a phone. Based on the metadata, people commonly use it to connect a mobile device with their PS4 and handle a few second-screen tasks without relying only on the console controller or TV interface.

The listed permissions suggest the app may need network access, Wi‑Fi status, storage access, and background activity to support pairing, communication, and any stored companion data. In practical use, this kind of app is often used to interact with PS4 features from a phone, such as browsing or entering text more conveniently, depending on what the connected console and games support. Because it is categorized as Entertainment and tied to PlayStation Mobile Inc., it fits best as a console companion utility rather than a general media or productivity app.
