This morning I tried to watch Roku on my phone and also my tablet.  

Somehow it dropped that they exist. they both were working fine.

now I’m only able to watch on my living room tv

i have Roku express and am trying to watch on iPhone and iPad. 

I read about attempting to set up manually, but I can’t find how to get to this point. 

help is appreciated

I used to be able to watch the Roku channel on my iPhone but not now? Keeps wanting me to connect to a device. Hard to connect to a device when you are away from home. Who broke it?

I had the same issue but just notice 3 dots at the bottom of series I was watching. When I click it different options pop up and one is watch on mobile. Hope this helps

That's it!  I've been struggling with this for the last few weeks!  The 3 dots on the bottom solved it!

Thank you!

Find the show you want to continue watching, below the icon, will be the show name and on the right side will be the 3 vertical dots.

I only have the basic Roku app, and so far I don’t see any 3 dots. Any ideas?

While under the Home tab in the mobile app, the three vertical dots should appear under any content you may have under "Continue Watching on TV" section. (allows you to continue watching shows from the Roku Channel that you viewed via the mobile app or your Roku device).

For any other content, other than "Continue Watching", the three dots will not be available.  To watch content, select the Roku Channel tab (to the right of Home tab) to view on your mobile device.

Actually, today is the first day I noticed these dots while answering another question.
