Can I use my iPhone as a keyboard for my MacBook Pro?

Hi everyone. In these strange times many of us are working from home. I have taken to putting my MacBook pro onto the TV with the HMDI cable. I own a Bluetooth mouse, but not a keyboard. I dont need to type all that much, so don't really want to shell out a lot of money for a Bluetooth keyboard. Does anyone know if I can use my iPhone as one? Ideally, I would like to just be able to sit with the display on my TV and use it to enter a short amount of text here and there... Any comments would be very much appreciated.


Thanks

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15

This may be overly simplistic:


‎• Remote Mouse on the App Store - iTunes - Apple

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/remote-mouse/id385894596


"..Remote Mouse™ turns your iPhone or iPad into a user-friendly remote control

for your computer. It simulates the function of wireless mouse, keyboard and

touchpad, also provides a variety of specialty control panels, such as Media

Remote, Application Switcher and Web Browsing Remote, which helps you

perform specific operations more quickly.."
