Please verify that you used the intended button combination to pair the remote.

Reconnect the Apple TV remote - Apple Support

Else try restarting just the remote using the other button combination.

If your Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote isn't working - Apple Support


my Apple TV apple app doesn’t work also.

Do you mean the software remote on iPhone (or iPad)? That would be separate (unrelated), and through Wi-Fi instead of bluetooth.

Set up the Apple TV Remote on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


If you meant something else, then please elaborate.
