Apple TV remote not working

My Apple TV 4th generation A1625 light flashes when you press buttons on my Apple Remote, but nothing happens on your TV. I have tried all the procedures I saw online but none off them worked. I am also unavailable to use my mobile phone as a remote for my Apple TV because I need to be on the settings page on the Apple TV.

Someone help on how to connect my Apple TV remote because the light flashes when I press a button but it does nothing on the tv

Your AppleTV should be in the Home app on your iPhone. Inside the Home app, you can press the AppleTV button to turn it on or long press it to bring up additional controls including the Remote. Within the Remote at the bottom center is a Left Arrow, you can use that to navigate back to the Home Screen and, using the trackpad above the Left Arrow, move to and enter the Settings.


If your Siri Remote Gen 1/Apple Remote is not working:

Reconnect the Siri Remote to Apple TV - Apple Support

Consider a reboot of the AppleTV

Charge the Siri Remote - Apple Support.

This gives no information on what you have tried.

I am also unavailable to use my mobile phone as a remote for my Apple TV because I need to be on the settings page on the Apple TV.

For iPhone: Set up the Apple TV Remote on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

With A1625 and later models, it should allow to connect and set up without need to go into Settings on Apple TV, unless both devices are not on the same network already.
