Did you know you can remotely control another iPhone using your own? This capability exists, allowing you to assist family or friends with their device settings or app usage without needing to be physically present. This feature is particularly useful for elderly individuals or those new to technology.
To remotely control another iPhone, you’ll need to use the FaceTime call and the iPhone’s Remote Control feature.
Here’s how:
1. Initiate a FaceTime video call with the person whose iPhone you wish to control.
2. Instruct them to click the ‘Share My Screen’ option. This will display their iPhone screen on your device.
3. During screen sharing, you will have the option to ‘Request Remote Control’.
4. The other user must click ‘Allow’ for you to gain control of their iPhone through your device.
With this feature, you can open apps, adjust iPhone settings, assist with tasks, and provide direct guidance on the screen.
This feature offers a convenient way to provide technical assistance to distant relatives or friends, allowing you to resolve issues directly by operating their phone without extensive explanations. It’s safe and straightforward, as remote control is only possible with the user’s explicit permission.
If you’re unable to use this feature, ensure your iPhone’s software is updated. Note that this feature only allows control of an iPhone from another iPhone.
