Controlling Android remotely with PC - how to do it

Android is one of the two major operating systems for mobile devices. You can also access Android remotely. This is especially useful if you are just sitting at your PC and don't want to get up to get your phone from the next room, but still want to access its pictures.

How to control an Android smartphone remotely with a PC?

The easiest way to control an Android device is with TeamViewer. TeamViewer is a software that has allowed to control a PC remotely with another PC for years. This feature has been extended in the sense that you can now also control your smartphone from your PC.

1. Download the TeamViewer Module QuickStart from the Google Play Store and wait until the app is fully installed.
2. Furthermore, you will need the desktop version of TeamViewer on your PC. You can find this on the official TeamViewer website.
3. After starting QuickStart, it will show you a nine-digit sequence of numbers that you need to enter on your PC under "Partner ID". Then click on "Connect to Partner".
4. If you are using TeamViewer Host, the connection is made via your TeamViewer user account. So you only need to log in with your account on both devices to access from one to the other.
