You can navigate the AppleTV App on your device - and all controls are visible on your iPad screen.


If using the AppleTV set-top box, you can use the controls that I have described above to interact with the AppleTV box - the iPad controls being a substitute for the actual remote control handset - but you are limited to using the display of the connected TV or monitor.

Yes - from the iPad Control Centre.


First, enable the Apple TV Remote option for the Control Centre in iPad Settings:

Settings > Control Centre > Access Within Apps - set to ON


Next, if AppleTV Remote is not already listed in Included Controls, tap the corresponding green “+” in the list of More Controls.



Now exit the Control Centre settings.


Swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen to expose the Control Centre - then tap the AppleTV Remote icon to expose a complete set of AppleTV controls:
