How to setup parental controls on your smart TV
Perplexity just rolled out a major update for 2025 Samsung TVs that grants users access to its immense AI answer engine. It gives Samsung TV owners more ways to experience AI in their daily lives.
The new Perplexity app functions a lot like other AI chatbots available on some of the best TVs, including Google’s Gemini and Amazon’s Alexa+. Perplexity can not only answer a wide swath of questions, but also do a host of other tasks, like plan out a vacation or design the perfect fantasy football lineup.
What can you do with Perplexity on your Samsung TV?
Perplexity AI broadens your knowledge by answering various questions directly on your TV screen. Beyond simply using the app in conjunction with on-screen entertainment or discovering which one of the best streaming services has access to the entire “Friends” catalog, you can also ask Perplexity to perform a wide range of different tasks.
For instance, you can ask Perplexity to help find nearby bars that offer fish and chips on the menu. Alternatively, you can use Perplexity to help plan a vacation to Japan by asking it to check airline prices and to recommend a Japanese-English dictionary.
One thing to keep in mind before proceeding is that Samsung’s new Perplexity app is currently only available on its 2025 TVs, such as the Samsung S95F and Samsung S90F OLEDs. Samsung did state that the app would be rolled out to older sets from 2024 and 2023 later this year, but didn’t give a definitive timeline.
What makes its integration worthwhile to Samsung TV owners is that you can get a full 12-month subscription to Perplexity Plus for free. You’ll just need to access the app on your Samsung TV first.

Before doing anything, make sure your 2025 Samsung TV is up to date. To do this, head to Settings -> Support -> Software Update. This menu should detail what firmware your TV is currently using and if you need an update.
It should read Tizen 9.0, firmware version 2106.0. This version is also available on 2024 Samsung TV models, but as mentioned, the Perplexity app hasn’t rolled out to those TVs yet.
2. Search for the Perplexity app
