Apple TV 4K keyboard not coming up on IPad or iPhones

And when I try to enter text on the AppleTV screen, I get the notification to continue entering on my iPad and on my iPhone but when I click on it, the Siri remote comes up on the phone and iPad but no keyboard. I’ve checked all the normal things both are on the same net work both are signed into the same Apple ID And the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are on. I just can’t get it to go from remote to keyboard.

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 16

Thanks for reaching out Ickery,


It sounds like you're having some trouble using the keyboard on your iPadOS and iOS devices with your Apple TV. We can help.


A great place to start is with this article to Use the iOS or iPadOS keyboard to enter text on Apple TV. Keep in mind your iOS or iPadOS device must meet certain minimum requirements:

- On your iOS or iPadOS device, go to Settings > Notifications > Apple TV Keyboard and turn on Allow Notifications.


Whenever a text field appears on Apple TV, a notification appears on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

- Tap the notification and enter text in the iOS or iPadOS keyboard that appears. Text you enter on the iOS or iPadOS device automatically appears in the text field on Apple TV.



Hope that helps.


Take care.
