Transform Your iPhone and Apple Watch into Apple TV Remotes
Your iPhone, or even your Apple Watch, can serve as an alternative remote for your Apple TV. This is especially handy when the physical remote has mysteriously vanished into the depths of the couch. (In fact, you can also use your iPhone to track down that elusive device.)
Even if you’ve mislaid the remote somewhere in plain sight—perhaps it’s lounging on a distant table—you might not want to disrupt a good show by calling out for it. Or maybe someone else has claimed control of the remote and you wish to take charging action—like pausing that tempting video—all from your handy iOS gadget. The good news? It’s simple enough to manage from either an iPhone or an Apple Watch.
Using Your Phone as an Apple TV Controller
Start by ensuring your iPhone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Apple TV; this should typically be a given if both devices belong to you in a home environment. If you’re using them at someone else’s place, don’t forget to ask for their Wi-Fi password rather than getting frustrated with connection issues.
If you’ve previously configured an Apple TV, a Remote icon should now appear in the Control Center of your iPhone without any additional steps needed.
For newer models like the iPhone X through 16 series, swipe down from the top right corner to unveil Control Center and tap on the Remote icon. If it’s absent, press and hold anywhere within Control Center, select “Add Controls,” then add Remote.
