If you are an Apple Watch user who also has an Apple TV 4K at home, you are in a luck. The latest version of the watchOS 11 brings an updated version of the Remote app, which is miles better than the older version, as it allows you to not only play and pause content, but also do a lot more, like adjusting the volume and invoking Siri, among other things.

Moreover, the updated version of the app has four additional features, making you totally feel like you do not need a physical remote anymore.

Apple Watch’s Remote app gains five new abilities

The watchOS 11 update brings in new changes to the remote app, including the ability to invoke Siri, mute and unmute audio, and more. Here are all the things that you can now do with the updated Remote app.
