Luckily, the Apple TV Remote app for your iOS device gives you all the functionality of the physical Apple TV remote. DonвЂ™t fret, as youвЂ™re not up the proverbial creek just yet. Unfortunately, if you have a third generation Apple TV, you wonвЂ™t be able to use Control Center on your iOS device. If prompted, enter the four digit code that appears on your Apple TV into your iOS device. Next, open Control Center, tap on the Apple TV icon and select your Apple TV.

To use the Apple TV Remote function in Control Center with your Apple TV, you must ensure that both your Apple TV and your iOS device are on the same Wi-Fi network. On your iOS device navigate to вЂњSettings -> Control Center -> Customize Controls.вЂќ Scroll through the list of available controls until you find the one labeled вЂњApple TV Remote.вЂќ Tap on the + icon next to it to add the Apple TV Remote function to your Control Center. DonвЂ™t stress, though, itвЂ™s easy to get it to appear. Unfortunately, the Apple TV Remote isnвЂ™t visible by default in Control Center. AppleвЂ™s Control Center gives users quick access to a variety of settings and controls, including your Apple TV.
