Ever wanted to remotely view or control an Android phone from another device? We’ve got you covered with this simple and easy-to-follow guide.
Preparing Your Devices
Before we dive in, remember that you need permission from the owner of the Android device you want to remotely view or control. In this guide, we’ll use AirDroid for remote viewing and control.
Remote Viewing Your Android Phone
To remotely view your Android device from another Android device or an iPhone, follow these steps:
- Install the apps:
Install the “AirDroid Remote Support” app on the Android device you want to remotely view.
Install the “AirMirror” app on the viewer device (Android or iPhone).
Get the code: Get the nine-digit code from the AirDroid Remote Support app on the remote device.
Connect the devices: Enter the code in the AirMirror app on the viewer device and tap “Connect.”
Granting Permissions and Initiating Remote Viewing
Next, follow the on-screen prompts to grant permissions on both devices and initiate remote viewing.
Assisting with Remote Viewing
While you can’t control the remote device’s screen, you can provide assistance using a few features within the AirMirror app.
Remotely Controlling an Android Phone
To fully control an Android device remotely from another Android device or a computer, follow these steps:
- Install the “AirDroid: File & Remote Access” app on the remote device, and the “AirMirror” app on the controlling device.
- Enable remote control in the AirDroid app on the remote device.
- Grant necessary permissions for remote control on the remote device.
- Connect to the remote device using the AirMirror app on the controlling device or the AirDroid web app on a computer.
Screen Mirroring Android to TV
You can also mirror your Android device screen to a Chromecast-enabled TV or other supported devices. Use the Google Home app for Chromecast-enabled TVs or the built-in screen mirroring feature for other devices.
With the AirDroid suite of apps, remotely viewing and controlling your Android device is easy and convenient. Remember to always get permission from the device owner and follow our step-by-step guide to ensure a smooth experience.
