Remove Apple TV ‘now playing’ control panel shown on lock screen. iPhone 14 pro max
Whenever there is something playing on my Apple TV, the Control Panel for Apple TV automatically appears on iPhone and iPad lock screen. Usually I would change the Now Playing source to iPhone/iPad to clear the Controls from the lock screen however this method no longer works on iPhone 14 pro max. It does still work on my iPad Pro running iOS 16.
I believe that controls box is now part of live activities, and have tried a number of solutions, such as removing remote control from control centre, turning off live activities on Lock Screen however nothing I’ve tried has resolved the issue. I’m waiting for support to find a solution or whether this is by design. I would like to remove the control box when I don’t want to it there. With other live activities, you can swipe them off your screen and bring them back if needed.
