Check How to convert your iPad or iPhone as Apple TV remote
Apple just stopped and removed the TV Remote app from the App Store with the latest iOS update. But users do not need to be alarmed. If you are someone who has been using the TV Remote app on your iPhone, you can still control your Apple TV with iPhone; now it’s a little different. The reason is that the Remote feature is merged into the Control Center or all iPhones (with iOS 12 or later). You can use the Control Center by swiping down from the upper right corner of your iPhone (this applies to any iPhone with a notch). If your iPhone is older or has the home button (which means it has no notch), you can access the Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of the screen.
Once you are in the Control Center, you will see the Apple TV Remote icon. If you don’t see it, you can turn it on by going to Settings, then Control Center, and enabling it if you’ve already turned it off. The good news is that it works exactly the same as the TV Remote app, so there shouldn’t be a learning curve. You just need to remember that you are looking for this remote control function in a different place.
You can still use the Siri Remote to control your Apple TV. There is no downside to this, but the Siri Remote will remain one of Apple’s most separate devices. Some people like it and dislike it a lot because of its small size, its confusing symmetrical design, and its propensity to get lost among sofa cushions.
How to set up Apple TV Remote on an iPhone or iPad
If your iPhone or iPad has OS version 13 or later, Apple TV Remote should be automatically added to Control Center. If you’re using an older version, or if you don’t see it there for some reason, you’ll need to start adding it.
- On your iPhone or iPad, launch the Settings app.
- Touch Control Center. Check if the Apple TV Remote is in the Included Controls section of the page. Otherwise, scroll down and find the Apple TV remote under More Controls. Touch the leftmost symbol on the remote to add it to the included controls.
- Open Control Center by swiping down from the top right of the screen. (If you’re using iOS 11 or earlier, open Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of the screen.)
- Tap the Apple TV Remote button from the button collection at the bottom of the screen.
- If this is your first time using the remote, you will be prompted to select your Apple TV from the list and then enter a four-digit code that is displayed on the Apple TV screen.
