Stop unknown devices trying to connect to Apple TV I have a 4th generation Apple TV and I live in an apartment block, so I have very nearby neighbours.

While I was watching a video, it was interrupted by the 4 digit confirmation screen of a new connection (Ryan's iPhone) flashing up.

I don't know Ryan, and I don't appreciate him interrupting my viewing.

I've checked my Wi-Fi router's status and it indicates that Ryan's iPhone is not connected to my WLAN. I presume that this was an attempt to connect via Bluetooth.

How do I prevent this from happening again and only allow connections from previously authorised devices?
You can give AirPlay a password in the settings on your Apple TV. Only with this password you can connect. 


Open Settings
AirPlay
Change 'Security' to Password
Turn off 'Require Device Verification'
