AppleTV copy/paste not working

Just noticed that COPY/PASTE functionality from iOS to AppleTV stopped working recently. Is it disabled or is there a setting that needs to be changed?

I came across this previously posted AppleTV copy/paste from iPhone no longer … - Apple Community

and am able to paste it in the Text field on iOS. However it does nothing on the AppleTV.

I remember this used to work when I setup my first AppleTV last fall. This was so helpful to copy and paste longer strings from iOS to AppleTV.

Same issue also. There doesn’t appear to be any talk of a fix which is very disappointing.

Apple has started to become a little tiring with certain issues for a while now.

It is a bug in the latest version(s) of TVOS. I have exactly the same issue.

It appears to be a bug in the last version of iOS (16.0 and 16.0.2 at least). It works fine when using iPadOS 15.7.

If you can, please give feedback to Apple about this. Product Feedback - Apple.
