No more searching the couch cushions
When you’re watching one of your favorite movies, there’s nothing more than frustrating than losing the remote. One minute it’s right next to you, and the next it seems to have vanished into some vortex where it is seemingly lost forever – only to turn up again when you least expect it.
For Apple TV 4K users, this isn’t an issue. The device comes with a built-in find my remote feature (found using the Control Centre app on iPhone) that tracks the missing remote and uses a sensor to find an approximate location. Google introduced its own remote-finding feature to certain Google TV devices earlier this year, and it’s available on some of the other best streaming devices from the likes of Roku too.
Annoyingly though, find my remote is missing from the best TVs, meaning those without any of these streaming devices were stuck – until now.
