If you're looking for a different option, Apple lets you use an Xbox or PlayStation wireless gaming controller as an Apple TV remote ( here's how). You can purchase the new remote and it'll work with your older Apple TV, too. Apple released a redesigned version of the Siri Remote with the latest Apple TV 4K, and the new remote is thicker and less symmetrical, so it's more comfortable to hold and easier to use in the dark. Of course, you can still use the Siri Remote to control your Apple TV, which is probably the easiest option for most people. The older models still work over infrared on all Apple TV. Alternatively, treat yourself to the new-and-improved remote The Apple Remotes were succeeded by the Apple TV Remote and Siri Remote, which use Bluetooth. You just have to remember that you look for this remote control feature in a different place. It works exactly the same as the TV Remote app, so there shouldn't be a learning curve. On the TV remote control, press the Input button, and then select AirPlay from the input selection to display the AirPlay menu. If you don't see it, you can turn it on by going into Settings, then Control Center and enabling it if you already turned it off. If you experience Apple TV access or connection issues when pairing to an Apple device using the AirPlay app, follow these steps to resolve the issue. Once in the Control Center, you'll see the icon for Apple TV Remote. If you have an older iPhone with a Home Button (meaning no notch), you can access the Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of the screen. You can access the Control Center by swiping down from the upper-right corner of your iPhone (this applies to any iPhone with a notch). The app is compatible with all iOS devices and works well when your Apple TV and mobile phone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network and running the latest.


The Remote feature has been integrated into the Control Center on all iPhones running iOS 12 or later.
