How to Use Control Center's Apple TV Remote in iOS 11 - Mac Rumors

Ayee might wanna add this to the article -

It actually DOES have a volume control. If you can control your TV’s volume with the Siri remote, you’re using AirPods, connected to a Bluetooth speaker, or AirPlay speaker, you can change the volume using the physical volume buttons on your device. Super nifty.

Literally the only thing useful in this article was this comment.

I'm being serious here....how is this more convenient than using the Apple TV Remote app. I don't get it. I have this app on my home screen. I tap the icon, and there is the remote.
Is there something that I'm missing?

Not true.

The new Remote app for iOS (icon with gray text on black field) works fine with my 3rd gen AppleTV.

I know because I’ve been running it due to the horrible new TV remote and the screwed up nature of the new Netflix/Prime/Hulu/YouTube “apps” vs the old “channels” on the 3rd gen TV.

That's exactly what they said. You need to use the dedicated *app* and not the control center widget. So, true.

Thanks for pointing this out. Normally I ignore these articles but this one and the one yesterday about Apple TV tips are very informative.

Absolutely, but actually this is Apple's job to push this knowledge to it's customers somehow more transparent, as most features are hidden and not used by the broad public at all.

i agree. However, my take in the overall tech gadget market is, there needs to be a balance of technology and advertised usability.
let's use the flick feature in regards to the ipad. Timesaver, keystroke saver.
Who knows about this? out of hundreds of people i have asked, the kids know about it and adults are amazed by it.

I have questioned why apple doesn't touted such gems.

another gem.

people are amazed at how much info apple has posted. They just never knew it was all there.

Control centre is available anywhere, even when using other apps. That’s my thought anyway.

Wow, I never knew about this.

I love these 'delighters' - this is what makes Apple, Apple :)

Never knew this, great article. Thank you for sharing!

This is good to know, and a bit more convenient than the remote app. Thanks again for another useful tip.
