I just got the iPhone 13 pro which has moved the remote app into the control center. It stopped picking up my Apple TV. I've tried restarting my Apple TV several times and it still won't pick it up. It's a 4th generation. Help!
iPhone 13 Pro
How are you supposed to "Verify that both devices are on the same home network" when you can't navigate around the Apple TV because you don't have a remote? The solution needs to present something where the Apple TV connects to your iPhone in some other fashion. Very suspicious and like Apple to make us all buy new remotes when we could have used the old app that used to work just fine.
Please bring back the old remote app. This new one in control center is nothing but bugs. Most of the buttons do nothing. I am up to date on all software on my Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, etc. nothing works right while I never had any issues with the old remote app that Apple doesn’t let me access anymore. Very frustrating.
If anyone at apple is reading this PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BRING BACK OLD APP which I personally put in control center BUT IT ALWAYS WORKED PERFECTLY I used it for 3 years never a hiccup, now the remote has worked since it was permanently move to control center.
I do not agree. The old app works much less reliable and seems was no longer supported. What is needed by Apple is to fix the latest software to reliably connect. That is the software in the control center, which does not have much in common with the old iOS app except for the name and perhaps some lines of code. Therefore it is better to simply ask Apple to fix buggy software.
i am also having this issue. Any fix on this?
I lost the remote that came with the ATV
You know that you can buy a replacement remote? Remotes - Apple TV accessories - Apple Store
I have this too. Just stopped working. Have repaired no problem. Also the calibration popped up a notification once now never again. Can’t calibrate anymore.
Calibration is available in Settings﹥Video and Audio﹥ on the Apple TV box
at any time. No need to wait for a (new) notification.
Do you also have an Apple TV (4th generation)?
I also have 13 pro and am having the same issue connecting.
Silly thing that seems basic -- is your phone bluetoothed to the ATV4? I was having trouble getting the phone to recognize my ATV, linked them via bluetooth, huzzah, connected, remote works.

I am talking about the built in app on iPhone 13,pro I upgraded from the XS and it worked fine now only connects the first time after that does not connect after that at all.
Same problem. It works on and off. very unreliable. Started after the app was removed and put in control menu.
Very annoying. Using Iphone 12 pro and apple tv 4k.
Read my post! 👍🏼
I followed these steps and it worked! The only exception being that I didn’t have to enter the 6 digit passcode as it just reconnected to the ATV4 under its old name.
I had the same issue. It would not connect and could not enter code. I attempted to mirror phone to tv and it allowed me to enter code. Works as remote app again now.
Apple TV remote app won't connect
