How to turn your iPhone into a universal remote control (Apple TV included)



How many times have I lost the remote control? I do not have fingers in my hand to count them ... until recently, I ended up going to the television to change the channel, raise or lower the volume, turn it off, etc., thank goodness that sooner or later the command ended up appearing where I least expected it.

Fortunately, it will not happen anymore. In other words, I will lose it again but now I have my faithful iPhone to replace it until I find it again. In this post we want to show you several solutions to the problem, being able to turn your iPhone into a universal remote control or a remote control for the Apple TV . It's very easy, we just have to go to the App Store and download a specific application.
