How to add Apple TV Remote to iPhone Lock Screen

Please note: This is NOT about adding it to the CONTROL CENTER

How do I add AppleTV Remote on my iPhone LOCK SCREEN?

I do not want to have to unlock my iPhone, swipe down for Control Center, touch Apple TV Remote, to open it. I want to have access to the remote on my LOCK SCREEN. It used to be there but now disappeared since I upgraded to iOS 17.

Remote on iPhone - Controlling other devices I've noticed that the Remote on the iPhone (accessible through the Control Center in iOS 16.3) can be used to control not only the Apple TV, but also the TCL TV that I have added to the Home app. What other device remotes can be added this way?

Apple TV remote on Lock Screen Hiya, does anyone know how I can get the Apple TV remote to stop coming up on my Lock Screen? I know the “control centre” stuff and I know how to click on “controls and devices” and change it to my phone. It goes for a second then comes back.

AppleTV Remote Totally Removed? Hello, I have several iPads that were working perfectly with the app "AppleTV Remote" and I was able to see the app on my "home" view like a normal app. I needed to reset to factory one of them and after I made that, the app doesn't appear on my "home" and it's only available thru the "Center Control". My versions of iPads are iOS 13.1.2. I remember, not so long ago, that Apple removed the app from the AppStore, but it was only affecting devices with iOS 15+. In the past, when I reset the devices to factory, after that I was able to see again the app "AppleTV Remote" but now there is no chance to do that. So, did apple removed the app for all ios versions? Before, on the link below, it was mentioning iOS 15 for the Center Control, but now its not saying anything.

I found where to turn it on and off of your Lock Screen. It's buried here:

Settings > Notifications > TV > LOCK SCREEN APPEARANCE > Show Previews > Always
