How to close apps on remote app?

Hi, I lost my apple tv remote. I got a new one, and don't know how to pair it. If so, please help me with that.


If not, how do you kill apps using the remote app on ios?

iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

The easiest way to pair the Remote app is to buy a replacement ATV remote. You can use the older silver remotes to control ATV 4, so you don't have to buy a Siri remote. You'll need a real remote again if you ever change your network connection, because the Remote app connects over WiFi.


Regarding killing apps using the Remote app, assuming you mean on ATV 4, it works the same as the Siri remote. You double tap the Home button to bring up the app chooser, and swipe up to close an app.
