If the Siri Remote (2nd generation or later) has been updated to firmware 0x83 (part of tvOS 17) (verify in Settings), and all devices are at least on OS 17, then the Find option can be revealed in the software remote on iPhone, from the drop-down device menu at the top of the screen. It isn’t visible all the time.



If the firmware update didn’t happen, then the charge level may be too low.
