Updated to iOS 18 today. If I'm watching a video on Apple TV, I get a persistent notification on my lock screen to bring up the Apple TV remote. Once I tap it, it brings up the Apple TV controls.

I don't want this notification. How can I turn it off?

Somewhat related, if I do occasionally use the remote function twice a year, what's the fewest-taps way to "let go" of the Apple TV and control my iPhone's media instead?

There is a way as I disabled this on my iPhone but I can't for the life of me remember how I did it.

If you're using your iPhone. You still get a banner notification for keyboard input but if you're not using your iPhone, no notification and nothing on the lockscreen.

That's exactly what I'd like to do. It was perfect before.
