Apple TV remote on Lock Screen

Hiya, does anyone know how I can get the Apple TV remote to stop coming up on my Lock Screen? I know the “control centre” stuff and I know how

to click on “controls and devices” and change it to my phone. It goes for a second then comes back. I had fixed it before but recently had my phone repaired and can’t remember how…

Hi rlippo,


The Apple TV Remote can be added to or removed from your Control Center by following the steps from Set up the Apple TV Remote on your iPhone or iPad:


"Add the Apple TV Remote to Control Center

  • If you have the latest version of iOS or iPadOS, the Apple TV Remote is automatically added to Control Center.
  • If you have an earlier version of iOS or iPadOS, manually add the Apple TV Remote to Control Center. Go to Settings > Control Center, and tap Add  next to Apple TV Remote. 

To use the Apple TV Remote with an AirPlay-compatible smart TV, add your smart TV to the Home app and assign it to a room."


If those controls are persistent, you may have added a widget to your Lock Screen that can also be modified. See How to add and edit widgets on your iPhone for those functions.


Regards.
