The move of Apple TV Remote from App Store to Control Center ended the swiping ability with Apple TV 3.

Apple must come clean about this, does anyone know? When Apple withdrew the Remote app from App Store and added the Control Center Remote in stead, *did they deliberately drop the Remote support for swiping with Apple TV 3* or did they simply overlook the fact that *swiping actually worked perfectly well with Apple TV 3*? The cc Remote only supports Directional Buttons with Apple TV 3, not swipe regardless off the setting in Accessibility >Apple TV Remote. Also holding down on the Select (center) button does nothing, a ghastly limitation of the soft cc Remote. The App Store Remote app always supported swiping with Apple TV 3, by default no settings necessary, and it worked *excellent* contrary to what some have suggested. 'Swiping' with the original remote is activated by simply holding down the corresponding Directional Button. Holding down on the soft cc Remote Directional Buttons does nothing. Apple didn't even care to let people keep the Remote app on their iPhones when they withdrew it from the App store, in stead they *disabled* it and told us to start using cc Remote instead, and after that swipe support has never returned with Apple TV 3. Apple support are useless. I've tried all the articles they've referred to, and lots more that I've found on my own. Everyone promises they can fix it but none of them ever delivers. I've hard booted my iPhone and reset it to factory settings, I've tried everything short of setting the iPhone on fire and buy a new, but apparently the problem is not with the iPhone, it's with the cc Remote vs. Apple TV 3 communication and I'm not willing to buy a new Apple TV just because Apple fails at making a decent cc Remote (in fact I've stopped using it), everything else works fine and with AirPlay I have all my streaming services available. I'm still on iOS 15 because my current iPhone is not supported beyond that, but the latest update came just days ago, iOS 15.7.3 (January 23, 2023). My next step will be to tryout iOS 16 on a friend's XS Max, though I've already tried that model with iOS 15 and that made no difference so I don't have high hopes for iOS 16 either. The last thing I've read about it is that [the Remote app is set to return to the App Store with iOS 16](https://mobilesyrup.com/2022/06/20/apple-tv-remote-app-returns-to-the-app-store-with-ios-16/), which is however probably just a misunderstanding because reportedly [iOS 16 cc Remote supports the app switcher](https://appleinsider.com/inside/ios-16/tips/how-to-use-your-iphone-as-a-remote-for-apple-tv-in-ios-16), which is about time though because not supporting the app switcher was not an improvement to the App Store app at all, it was way worse. But it seems that the cc Remote will still not appear in Spotlight search and that points to cc Remote not really being an App Store app but something in between, which also apparently means that it can't be put on the Home Screen, which - again - is worse than the App Store app. So Apple keeps disappointing with it's move of Apple TV Remote from the App Store to Control Center.
