Question:

Everytime my 20 month old daughter goes on netflix on her ipad, it stops whatever I am watching on TV and her show appears. She is too young to know she needs to choose the ipad option so mostly she clicks on the apple tv option. Is there a way to disconnect her ipad from apple tv? I don't want to disconnect it from home sharing.

Question: How to disconnect iPhone remote from apple tv

When ever I use the remote in my control center it stays connected to the Apple TV and wastes a ton of my battery. How do you disconnect your phone from the tv?

iPhone 12, iOS 15

Found a solution besides restarting your phone! Swipe down on control center then hit the blue tv in the top right corner. Then click on the circle on the bottom of the list labeled “Control other Speakers and TV’s”. Then simply click on iPhone. It was the first option for me.

Question: How to disconnected iPhone remote from Apple TV

If I use the remote on my iPhone for my Apple TV I can’t disconnect from it unless I turn my phone off and back on. In the meantime it really ***** up my iphone battery. When I swipe up control center on my iPhone there should be a way to disconnect it from my Apple TV module.

Yes that works but it’s much easier just to turn my phone off and reboot it. Apple needs to change this feature and add a “turn off” button on the remote app. The app stays on even when you walk away from the tv and it really uses up a lot of battery on my phone.
