Apple today released an all new
Apple TV Remote app for the iPhone and the iPad, which is used to control the fourth-generation
Apple TV along with older
Apple TV models. An**unced at WWDC,
the new Remote app has been available for developers since June and was released to the public this after**on.
The new Remote app, which connects to an
Apple TV via Bluetooth, mimics the exact layout of the physical
Siri Remote for a navigation experience that's streamlined across different input methods. Its design was inspired by the Siri Remote and is a significant improvement over the previous
Apple TV remote app.
When content like ****** or music plays, the Remote app features a full "**w Playing" view for control purposes, along with a dedicated Menu button and a Siri button. As with the physical
Apple TV Remote, navigation through the iOS app is done using touch gestures.
Entering text, like passwords and usernames, is much easier with the iOS Remote app because any text field automatically brings up a keyboard. Full Siri voice commands are supported, as is dictation. Because it includes the same gyroscope and accelerometer in the Siri Remote, an iPhone can be used as a dedicated game controller for playing games on the
Apple TV.
The
Apple TV Remote app requires
iOS 9.3.2 or later to install and it works with the current version of tvOS, 9.2.2. It can also be used to control
Apple TV 2 and
Apple TV 3 models.
The
Apple TV Remote app can be downloaded from the
App Store for free. [
