Hi, for the life of me I can’t get the Apple TV remote to work on my iPhone. I’m on iOS 16 but this is the only screen I get and none of the control work, not all controls are visible and even when I’m prompted to use the keyboard, the keyboard doesn’t display. Any idea what might be the issue?
Got a tip for us?

I found the fix. In Settings on your Apple TV un-pair your iPhone. Then re-pair your iPhone making sure the name of your iPhone (in Settings/General/About) matches the name on Apple TV.
I unpaired and signed out of my Apple TV and logged everything back in. Same issue. I have 3 other TVs I can control with the remote. The Apple TV is the only one I can’t control
