My kid recently got an iPhone, but I still use an Android device and I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way I can actually tap around on her screen when she needs help with settings. I’ve looked up a few screen sharing tools, but most only let me view the display instead of actually interacting with anything. Has anyone found a reliable method to get full access across operating systems without having to jailbreak or jump through crazy technical hoops?
Hey Megan! What worked for us was using parental control apps like Eyezy — it doesn’t let you remote control the iPhone fully, but you can manage settings, monitor activity, and even guide your teen with useful alerts. Full tapping control across Android to iPhone is super limited without jailbreaking, unfortunately.
Hmm, I don’t actually know of a solid cross-platform solution for that specifically — most tools I’ve seen are view-only like you mentioned. Apple’s pretty locked down about letting outside apps take control of the screen, which is probably why it’s so hard to find.
