Apple TV Remote app fix for Sling TV on iPhone 17 Pro

iPhone 17 pro, Apple TV remote App not working with sling tv app.

This if more a FIX not a question.

After last update, my iPhone apple tv remote, was not working well with the Sling TV app even after deleting apps and re-installing. It would not move to where I swiped and refuse to move up or down sometimes.

The Fix: Go to Accessibility in iPhone settings, select Apple TV Remote, Turn On Directional Buttons and Live TV Buttons.

Just use directional buttons and it works fine, just have to get use to it or turn off and on in settings for other apps. Swipe mode was not working at all.

Hope this helps, thanks


iPhone 17 Pro Max, iOS 26
