We have just bought an Apple TV 4K 3rd Gen 128Gb. We are two users each with our own ipad and phone. Is there anyway to easily switch default user without deleting both our accounts and starting again? This seems like a very un-Apple-like bug!
Also, how do we view the photos on the non-default user’s ipad?
Also we’ve worked out how to control the TV our phones, but not our ipads. Is it not possible to set up the remote on the ipad?
Thanks.
iPad, iPadOS 17

There should be one ‘default’ user. Additional accounts can be added as non-default, and can be switched between through Control Center.
Set up multiple users on Apple TV - Apple Support
Switch users in the Profiles tab on Apple TV - Apple Support
The Photos app on Apple TV accesses the iCloud Photo Library of the default user, though — if wanted. Additional shared albums from other users may be accessed as well.
Also, how do we view the photos on the non-default user’s ipad?
AirPlay, or Shared Albums.
Also we’ve worked out how to control the TV our phones, but not our ipads. Is it not possible to set up the remote on the ipad?
That should be exactly the same: through Control Center. Set up the Apple TV Remote on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
