The remote function is only useable as a software replacement of the physical remote. Set up the Apple TV Remote on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support. You use it to navigate on the TV screen. Use the top section for directional navigation (left, right, up, down) and select (middle).


To use “screen share”, you’ll want to use in-app AirPlay (if available), or else Screen Mirroring in Control Center. That is unrelated to the software remote.

Use AirPlay to stream video or mirror the screen of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

If screen mirroring or streaming isn't working on your AirPlay-compatible device - Apple Support
