It’s now possible to remotely control another iPhone from your own. This allows for immediate assistance when family or friends encounter difficulties with settings or apps. This is a beneficial tool for those less familiar with technology.
To remotely control another iPhone, you’ll be utilizing a FaceTime call in combination with the iPhone’s Remote Control feature.
Follow these steps:
1. Start a FaceTime video call with the individual whose iPhone you want to control.
2. Ask them to select the ‘Share My Screen’ option. This will display their iPhone screen on your device.
3. While screen sharing, the option to ‘Request Remote Control’ will appear for you.
4. You will be able to take control of their iPhone from your iPhone, once the other user clicks ‘Allow’.
This feature enables you to open any app, change iPhone settings, aid in performing tasks, and provide direct guidance on their screen.
The benefits of this feature include convenient technical support for those at a distance, the ability to troubleshoot issues directly by operating their phone, and enhanced safety because it requires the user’s permission.
If the feature is not working, check to ensure your iPhone software is updated. Remember, the feature only works to control an iPhone from another iPhone.
