Apple’s latest iOS 27 update is making life a bit easier for those who use their iPhone or iPad as an Apple TV remote. Now, you’ll be able to add the virtual Apple TV remote right back to your Home screen, a feature that’s been absent since 2020.
Previously, if you wanted quick access to the remote, you had to either dig into the Control Center or create a Shortcut. But with iOS 27 and iPadOS 27, you can now simply search for ‘Remote’ and drag the icon straight to your Home screen or find it in the App Library. This change makes the app more accessible and user-friendly, a welcome relief for regular users.
Currently, iOS 27 is in developer beta, with a public beta slated for July and a full release expected in the fall. Meanwhile, Apple enthusiasts might also want to check out the tvOS 27 updates that aim to boost gaming on Apple TV. And if you’re interested in other iOS features, keep an eye on the latest app deals to make the most of your Apple experience.
Stay tuned for more updates on iOS 27 and get ready to give your Home screen a fresh, practical new look!
