My apple tv remote on my phone wont connect to my apple tv, it says its trying to connect but fails to do so. This has been a problem for about 2 months. Ive tried to disconnect and reconnect it but it still doesnt work.

How can i get this to work. Their both connected to the same wifi.

Apple TV HD, tvOS 14

You will need to “forget” the remote created for this iPhone in the settings of your Apple TV. After that pair the remote app on your iPhone with your Apple TV again. Make sure that the Apple TV and the iPhone are on the same Wi-Fi Network when you start and complete the process.
