turn off control tv on iphone

First off, I’m not talking about the remote app. Sometimes when we’re watching something on apple tv, I’ll grab my phone and accidentally pause, or change the volume, etc.

How do I turn this off?

Stop my iPhone from controlling volume of apple TV I have never noticed the volume buttons on my iPhone changing the volume of whatever is playing on my Apple TV- I was trying to watch a video on my phone, while the apple TV was on, and the volume buttons would not adjust the volume on my phone, and will only change the volume of the TV. How do I disconnect the iPhone volume buttons from controlling the apple TV, without turning off the bluetooth on my iphone?

Apple TV automatically plays audio from iPhone after use of the Remote app. How do I stop this? I’m having an issue whenever I use the Remote app to control my Apple TV. What happens is that the next time I pick up my iPhone to use Music, the audio output defaults to the Apple TV, interrupting whatever is playing there. (Much to my kids’ dismay.) I have the Handoff Airplay settings set to “Never” but it still happens after a reboot of the phone and Apple TV. Now, there is a small bar at the bottom of the Music app with the player warning me that the output will be to the Apple TV (pictured), but most of the time I miss this because the text is too small, and this really shouldn’t be something I have to disable manually every time, especially with Automatically AirPlay to TVs set to Never. Am I missing some other setting, or is this a flaw in iOS 16.2?
