Configure an iPhone or iPad to enter text on Apple TV. Make sure the iOS
device and Apple TV are both signed in to iCloud using the same account. Also,
you must turn on Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on the iOS device.
Use an iOS keyboard to type on Apple TV. Whenever a text field appears on

the iOS keyboard appears. Text you enter on the iOS device automatically appears
in the text field on Apple TV.

used as a keyboard for Apple TV, on your iOS device go to Settings > Notifications
> Apple TV Keyboard and turn off Allow Notifications.
