Is it possible to get back the Apple TV Now Playing controls to the iPhone lock screen/Dynamic Island on iOS 17? (lemmy.one)

Before iOS 17, if I was watching something on my Apple TV, both my wife and I would get a Now Playing widget on our iPhones' lock screens.

Also, if I was using the Remote app, when going to the home screen, the Now Playing controls would go to the Dynamic Island.

This has always been pretty handy because we barely have to use the Apple TV physical remote, since everything was easy to control from our iPhones.

Well, with iOS 17 I can't seem to find how to make my iPhone/Apple TV do the same thing -- not to mention that now it takes a good 1-2 seconds for the Remote app to connect to the Apple TV.

Does anybody know whether these features are gone for good on iOS 17?

PS: When something is playing on the Apple TV, I do get a notification on my iPhone with the Apple TV logo that says what's playing, although even though it has a down arrow, it's not clickable. It's just sitting there.

See the other reply in the post. It’s possible to do the same on iOS 17.
