There was another way to locate it <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/guide\/tv\/locate-the-remote-atvb9f872f61\/tvos\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">using<\/a> the Remote app via Control Center, but most users probably didn\u2019t realize that feature existed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But with iOS 27.2, Apple TV remotes have now been added to the Find My app for location tracking. Open Find My in iOS 27.2 and go to the Devices tab, and compatible Siri Remotes (2nd gen and later) will now appear there.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/find-my-remote-ios-27-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1076601\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s nice that Apple finally addressed this oversight, but the timing is no coincidence. That\u2019s because the new <a href=\"https:\/\/link.amazon\/B0hZ4zeke\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Siri Remote (4th gen)<\/a> is going to make finding a lost remote way easier.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new remote features Precision Finding support and a built-in speaker. So the next time it\u2019s lost somewhere in your house, your iPhone can direct you step-by-step to its location and trigger a noise to help.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new Siri Remote is included with the 4th generation Apple TV 4K. But you can also <a href=\"https:\/\/link.amazon\/B09Bfi2ZJ\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">buy it separately for $59<\/a> and get the same new features. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The upgraded remote is compatible with all Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD models. To benefit from Precision Finding though, you\u2019ll need an iPhone 17 or newer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did you know the Remote app offered support for finding a lost remote? Will you use the new feature in Find My?
