How to Remove Apple TV Remote from Lock Screen on iOS 18?

The apple tv remote keeps coming up on my lock screen and I don't really use my phone to control my apple tv. Is there any way to get rid of it automatically popping up? I even tried to forget device via my Apple TV but still did not work.

I can’t take credit for this, but found this on Reddit and is the only thing I’ve seen that fixes this…


On lock screen tap on Apple TV logo on right side, then scroll to bottom of list and tap on Control other speakers devices, then tap on iPhone at the top. This will remove the prompt for the Apple TV and disappear if you do not have any media playing on your iPhone.
