This section addresses tvOS policies.

## TV remote policy

Applicable to supervised devices: iPads, iPhones, iPods, and Apple TV 11.3 or later. Apple TV will get all iOS MAC addresses regardless of supervision. The iOS device will only apply the policy if it is supervised.

Once the TV Remote policy is available, you will need to attach labels to the policy. Attach a label for your Apple TVs and attach another label for your iOS devices. They will both get the appropriate configurations to be able to communicate with each other.

**Procedure&#xA0;**

1. In the Admin portal, click Policies > Policies & Configurations.
2. Click Add New and select Apple > iOS / tvOS > TV Remote.
