iPhone remote keyboard for Apple TV disappears before I am done typing in YouTube search

Given that I am controlling my Apple TV via my iPhone 14 Pro Max running iOS 17.4

And I am in YouTube search

When I select the search text field

And begin to enter text into the keyboard that appeared on my iPhone remote app

Then the keyboard disappears before I am done typing


Sidenote: we have multiple different Apple TV’s in the house. From the 2nd gen, to the latest. The bug appears on all Apple tv’s.


It’s acting as if I hit the return, like if I was done searching.


I have had this issue since iOS 16. I thought updating to iOS 17 would fix it but I am currently on 17.4 and none of them have shown any progress. While on iOS 16 I thought it was just me because my wife’s phone worked fine. (She has the same phone I have) However, she has recently started reproducing it. She is on iOS 17.3.

Same here and this hasn’t been fixed by apple until now…

If it happens only for the YouTube app, why do you think it is something that Apple can or should fix? Then it seems more likely that the cause of the interruption is in the way that YouTube developers programmed their app. How to contact an app developer - Apple Support


I’ve seen this is going on for a while now…can someone from Apple take notice of this and fix it? This is so horrible no one even responds to these bugs listed…

This is a user-to-user forum. Apple does not participate here, nor do they go looking for feedback or bug reports here.


is the a different way to report bugs to Apple and get their attention?

For bug reports that appear to be for Apple to solve, please use one of the feedback forms: Product Feedback - Apple

Thanks for the info, will try to reach out to YouTube also. I think any app developer will be using an under laying framework provided by the device manufacturer to build on any functionality so in this case I’m not sure how much override one has and if the problem is in the framework or on the app developer code side…anyway I’ll reach out to YouTube and hopefully get some answers
