The Remote app on my iPhone 8 is no longer working (can’t find it) since the iOS 5.4.1 update.


My 4K apple tvOS is 15.3 (19K547)

The recent iOS and tvOS updates haven't broken the iOS Remote function for me. I suggest you update your ATV4K to the same 15.4.1 current version. Also restart your WiFi router and iPhone. Finally, check out this recommended reading if the update & reboot stuff effort doesn't sort this out: Set up the Apple TV Remote on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.
