Additional Way to Remotely Access an Android Phone
The TeamViewer app is also a way to remotely access an Android phone. But the drawback is that this kind of monitoring is not discreet. The app icon is visible on the screen; thus, you can access the phone only with their consent. Also, it’s not working if the phone is blocked and a session ends if the phone is restarted. However, it may still work out as an alternative solution:
- Open your TeamViewer.
- Go to the Remote Control tab.
- Enter the remote device’s TeamViewer ID and Connect.
- Enter the password displayed on the remote device’s TeamViewer and press Log On.
- Done! You are now connected to the remote device.
