On the Siri Remote, there is a specific button that you can use to switch quickly between Apple TV apps. To locate this button, look for the TV button, which is located at the top-left corner of the remote.
To switch between apps, all you need to do is press the TV button twice quickly. This action will bring up the app-switching view on your Apple TV screen. In this view, you will see a horizontal carousel of app icons representing the apps that are currently open on your Apple TV.
Now, to navigate to a different app in the center of the screen, simply use the trackpad on the Siri Remote. You can swipe left or right to move through the app icons in the carousel. As you swipe, the selected app will be highlighted, making it clear which app you are currently on.
Once you have selected the app you want to switch to, you have a couple of options. You can either press the trackpad to open the selected app, or you can press the Play/Pause button on the Siri Remote to bring up additional options for the selected app, such as closing it or rearranging the app order.
If, for any reason, you want to leave the app-switching view without changing apps, you can simply press the Back button on the second-generation Siri Remote. This button is located just below the trackpad. By pressing the Back button, you will exit the app-switching view and return to the previous app you were using.
It’s worth noting that the process of switching between apps on the Siri Remote is designed to be quick and intuitive. The TV button provides a convenient shortcut to access the app-switching view, allowing you to easily navigate through your open apps and switch to the one you need without any hassle.
The TV button on the Siri Remote is the key to switching between apps on your Apple TV. By pressing it twice quickly, you can access the app-switching view and use the trackpad to select and open different apps. And if you decide not to switch apps, you can use the Back button to exit the app-switching view and return to your previous app.
