Control Your Apple TV With Your iPhone

There’s an Apple TV Remote control hidden in your iPhone’s Control Center that will let you easily use your iPhone as a remote. That means you can control your Apple TV as well as any AirPlay-compatible smart TV. 

First, you’ll need to add the Apple TV Remote to your Control Center. To do this, go to Settings > Control Center, scroll down, and then tap the plus icon next to the Apple TV Remote.

Now, open the Control Center on your iPhone. If you have an iPhone X or a newer model, you’ll need to swipe down from the top right corner of your screen.If you have an iPhone 8 or an earlier device, or an iPhone SE, you’ll need to swipe up from the bottom of your screen.

Next, select the Apple TV Remote. You should see a list of all the devices available to control with your iPhone. Choose your Apple TV and follow the instructions on the screen to connect your Apple TV to your iPhone.
