Remote Phone Control

Remote Phone lets you see and control another Android phone in real time, and the person on that phone approves each session on their own screen before it starts.

It is made for helping a parent, partner or friend who is stuck on their phone, or for giving quick tech support without being in the same room.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• See the other phone's screen live

• Tap, swipe and scroll on it as if it were in your hand

• Walk someone through an app, a setting or a form by doing it for them

• Help from another Android phone or from a web browser

• Connect to your own second phone or tablet (the request must be approved on that device)

HOW IT WORKS

1. On the phone that needs help, choose "This phone's screen will be shown". It shows a 6-digit code.

2. On the other phone, choose "I will help another phone" and enter that code.

3. The phone that needs help shows a request. Once it is approved and Android's screen sharing is allowed, the session starts.

Only share your code with someone you know personally. Banks and customer service never ask for this code.

CONSENT IS BUILT IN

There is no hidden mode. The other phone must accept each connection, Android shows a screen-sharing indicator during the session, and either side can end it at any time.

FREE AND PREMIUM

Free: 2 sessions per day, 10 minutes each, with ads.

Premium: unlimited sessions, no time limit. Billed monthly or yearly through Google Play, cancel anytime.

BEFORE YOU SUBSCRIBE

Screen sharing depends on your phone's video encoder, and a small number of devices show a black screen. Please test the free tier on both phones first.

ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE

Remote Phone uses the Android Accessibility Service API only to perform touch gestures (tap, swipe, long press) sent by a helper you approved. You turn the service on yourself, and it stays on until you turn it off in Android settings. Gestures are performed only during a session you approved.

It is not used to:

• Read your screen content or collect personal data

• Monitor your activity

• Bypass system security features

• Change system settings without your consent

PRIVACY

Sessions are started only after you approve them. The video passes through our relay server in real time to reach your helper and is not stored. The app uses Google services for ads, analytics, sign-in and notifications, which process data such as device identifiers. Details: https://remotephones.app/privacy
