But since iOS 12 and iPadOS 13 came out, Apple has included this feature directly on iPhone and iPad thanks to a button you can add to Control Center.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Use Control Center on Your iPhone or iPad<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To get started, open the \u201cSettings\u201d app on your iPhone or iPad.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-691877\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/settings-app-iphone.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Visit Settings on iPhone\" width=\"650\" height=\"431\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In Settings, tap \u201cControl Center.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-720923\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Select-Control-Center-from-Settings.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Select Control Center from Settings\" width=\"650\" height=\"272\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In Control Center settings, scroll down until you find the \u201cMore Controls\u201d section.

Make sure that your iPhone or iPad and the Apple TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Unlike a traditional TV remote that uses infrared, this remote only needs a Wi-Fi connection to work.<\/p>\n<p>On your iPhone or iPad, swipe in from the top-right edge of the screen to open the Control Center.

Take a look at the code displayed on the Apple TV and enter it on your iPhone or iPad. Once the devices are paired, the Apple TV Remote will be linked to your iPhone or iPad.<\/p>\n<p>The layout is similar to the physical Apple TV Remote. Using the top touchpad, swipe to navigate. You\u2019ll also see buttons for skipping <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> and enabling captions when you\u2019re playing something.<\/p>\n<p>Below the touchpad, you\u2019ll find buttons for Menu, Home, Search, Play\/Pause, and Siri.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-720927\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Apple-TV-Remote-Interface-on-iPhone.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Apple TV Remote Interface on iPhone\" width=\"650\" height=\"460\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You can also use the iPhone or iPad to put the Apple TV to sleep\u2014and to wake it up (as long as it\u2019s powered up). Just tap and hold the Home button and choose the \u201cSleep\u201d option from the Apple TV to put it to sleep. To wake up the Apple TV, simply tap the Home or Menu button.<\/p>\n<p>And best of all, if you hate entering long passwords using the physical Apple TV remote, you can use the onscreen keyboard of your iPhone or iPad to do it instead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>14 Apple TV Remote Tips and Tricks You Should Know<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
