Access an Apple TV remote in iOS
Don’t worry about losing your Siri Remote down the side of the sofa – you can use your iPhone
Apple removed the Apple TV Remote app from the App Store in October but that doesn’t mean you can’t continue to control your Apple TV using your iPhone (or iPad). Rather, since the app remains available from the builtin Control Centre, it’s simply a matter of heading there each time you want to use your device to navigate, view and play content on Apple TV.
