Controlling Apple TV with iPhone - this option is available

When you buy an Apple TV, you get a remote control to control the device with it. However, there is also the option to control the box via your iPhone. For this you need to use the app "Apple TV Remote" or use the Apple TV Remote function in the control center.

This is how to control Apple TV with your iPhone

If you don't want to control the content you stream via your Apple TV using a separate remote control, then this is also possible via an iOS device of your choice. For this, you just need to set up "Apple TV Remote" in the Control Center. Make sure that your iPhone is up to date. Update the software if necessary.

1. When you start up your Apple TV, you can select whether you want to pair an iOS device with it.
2. Have you done the step, the Apple TV Remote will automatically appear in the control center and can be selected at any time.
3. However, if this does not work, a manual addition is necessary.
4. For this, go to the "Settings" of your iPhone. Wählen Sie als nächstes den Menüpunkt „Kontrollzentrum“ aus.
5. Hier können Sie nun die „Steuerelemente anpassen“, die im Kontrollzentrum angezeigt werden sollen.
6. Tippen Sie auf die Schaltfläche, sehen Sie eine Liste an Steuerelemente, die Sie hinzufügen können.
7. An der ersten Stelle befindet sich „Apple TV Remote“. Klicken Sie auf das Plus im grünen Kreis daneben, um die Option hinzuzufügen.
