How to use your Huawei Y7 (2018) as a TV remote control

This list of devices with an IR emitter -- https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_devices_with_an_IR_blaster does not list the Huawei Y7 by name. But maybe that model has a different name ... If your phone doesn't have an infrared emitter, then you can't use it as a TV remote.

Maybe your TV/cable provider has an app that allows you to change channels via wifi.

I have Verizon Fios, and within their app is a feature that has the actual cable box remote control, and it's functional. It's just a split second slower than a real remote because the signal is using the wifi network to change the cable.

And if that doesn't work, you pretty much can't do it. Any third party app will still use a wifi connection since your phone doesn't have the IR emitter.
