You can control your iPhone remotely in different ways. We present the methods and show you how it works.
Remote control iPhone via app
Apple does not allow complete remote control. With the free app TeamViewer QuickSupport you can carry out a kind of remote maintenance from your PC. You will need the TeamViewer program, which is also free of charge.
- If you install the app on your iPhone, you will be assigned a number. This enables remote maintenance to be started from the PC.
- You cannot control the iPhone properly from the PC, but you can request screenshots. Each screenshot is then automatically sent to the PC. With the integrated chat, you can communicate between the two devices.
- Via the "Settings" tab in TeamViewer you can set up the WLAN connection, a mail account or a Microsoft Exchange account on the PC and then transfer it to the iPhone.
- You can also use Apple's iPhone configuration program to create certain profiles beforehand, which you can then transfer with TeamViewer.
