Use Your iPhone as a Remote for Your Apple TV
Did you recently lose your Siri remote? No problem; you can still use your iPhone to control your Apple TV with just a few taps.
After you add the Siri Remote Control to your iPhone’s Control Center, you can trigger the control to turn your iPhone into a remote. You can use it to control your Apple TV as you would use a regular Siri remote.
What’s more, thanks to the upcoming iOS 17 and tvOS 17 software updates, you’ll also soon be able to use your iPhone to locate your actual Siri remote. So, you soon won’t need to worry about keeping your remotes close; your iPhone will take care of everything.
