How to Stop Apple TV Keyboard Notifications Popping Up on Your iPhone

Funny. I don't get the notification and would like to actually get one. Hopefully that will be fixed in 15.1 as well.

The feature isn't the problem. It's the annoying notifications.

EXACTLY.

Can we keep the notification but not have my phone vibrate or alert me to it? If I want to type into the TV, I know that I have that option - but it's too cumbersome to go digging for it without the notification.

I think we still need the notification to easily enter text onto the TV. But it shouldn't show up on my phone if I'm already looking at it, and it shouldn't vibrate or alert.

If you're not using your iPhone as your primary remote to control your AppleTV, you're doing it wrong.

I've never found the notification annoying at all, i use the keyboard on my iPhone when i'm logging in new apps on my Apple TV.
Beats using the remote to type the log in.

it is not annoying notification, it has a purpose and will prompt if you are in search option in ATV. I have 6 ATV and never touch a stock remote. Always use Siri on my HomePods situated all around the house and use voice command ( spectrum TV) to change the channel without having to scroll via remote app or Stocked remote, but when needing to search something, instead of scrolling through letters via stocked remote, I prefer the notification prompt to type in keywords. By the way with watch OS8 you have remote on your watch automatically appears for you to use it. so I don't need my iPhone remote.

It IS annoying when you're not the one doing the searching.

Is there a setting in 15.1 for disabling the similar Apple Watch Keyboard notification?

I can kind of see the reasoning for the Apple TV one but now, every time I dictate to my watch, I get a notification asking if I want to type on my phone. If I wanted to do that, I wouldn't be talking to my watch. It very much feels like they're just really proud of their new feature and want to advertise it. That's fine once, but not being able to turn it off is obnoxious.
