I so if I open the remote app on my iPhone 14 promax and control one of my Apple TVs with it and then I open iTunes later and try to play music on my iPhone it won’t let me. I can’t force close the remote app as it stays in the dynamic island and won’t close, it will let me play the iTunes music on the Apple TV but it won’t let me play it from my iPhone any longer same thing happens with my AirPods connected
Hello thefatkid007,

Hi thefatkid007,
Based on the troubleshooting that has been completed up to this point, your best bet will be to Get Support directly from Apple from here on out. You can use the link here to get started.
Take care.
Yeah, that’s kind of my point. I shouldn’t have to turn my phone on and off every time I use the remote app on my phone and then I want to play music through my phone speaker through iTunes. Yes I have an iTunes subscription I have the music on my phone and stream either one, but I don’t know why any of that’s relevant. The point is once you open the remote app you can’t force close it because it goes into the dynamic island and then if you open iTunes, the only place you can play the music is to the Apple TV or to my HomePod. There’s no way to select my eye phone speaker. There’s no way to force close the remote app so I have to turn off my phone and turn it back on which I can promise you isn’t how they designed the phone to act.
