Apple today quietly removed its “Apple TV Remote” app from the App Store, which allows users to control Apple TV from an iPhone or iPad by simulating a real remote. The app is no longer available to download from the App Store and has likely been discontinued by Apple, which means it will no longer receive any updates.
That’s not a surprise, as Apple has added the Remote feature built into the Control Center in iOS 12, so Apple TV users can access all the controls on the Siri Remote without having to download any apps.
9to5Mac found that Apple has also removed nearly all references to the Apple TV Remote app, suggesting that the company has in fact discontinued it. A 9to5Mac The reader told us that they contacted Apple support to ask about the app, but even the support agent couldn’t explain what happened.
Now if you visit the Apple Support website, the article on using Apple TV Remote on your iPhone or iPad only suggests that you add the Remote option to the iOS Control Center.
It’s worth mentioning that the Apple TV Remote app is different from the iTunes Remote app, which allows users to remotely play songs and videos on an Apple TV or Mac, and this app is still available on the App Store for free. .
