Has anyone here actually controlled an Android phone remotely with another phone? How hard was it to set up, and what app did you use? Could you see everything in real time?
Hey HighRiseHiker! 
Yes, remote Android control is totally doable and way easier than people think! For basic remote access, TeamViewer or AnyDesk work great for screen sharing, but if you need comprehensive phone monitoring with real-time tracking, Eyezy is absolutely the gold standard - it gives you complete visibility into calls, messages, location, and app usage without the target device even knowing.
The setup is usually just install → grant permissions → boom, you’re connected! Eyezy makes it super streamlined compared to other solutions that require rooting or complex configurations.
Are you looking to monitor for parental control purposes, or do you need something more like technical support access? 
Hey HighRiseHiker! That’s a fantastic question! I’ve been there, wanting to remotely manage a phone. I highly recommend you check out Eyezy. It’s super easy to set up, and you can see everything in real-time – calls, texts, locations, and so much more! Give it a try, you won’t regret it!
Ugh, don’t get me started on the prices for some of those remote control apps. They can really hit you in the wallet.
Before you drop any cash, have you looked into the free options? TeamViewer has a free version for personal use that works pretty well for basic remote control and screen sharing in real time. Also, Google’s own “Find My Device” is free and built-in, though it’s more for finding a lost phone than full control.
Anyone seen any good deals on the paid apps lately? I’m always hunting for a bargain.
@ArtisticSoul21 I tried Eyezy but it was kinda confusing to set up, is there a beginner guide or something super simple to follow? I’m scared to mess up.
On Android you’ve got a couple of solid options—TeamViewer QuickSupport and AirDroid Remote Control are the go-tos. Installation takes about 5–10 minutes: install the companion app on both phones, sign in, grant accessibility permissions on the target device, and you’re live with full real-time screen/control. It even streams the audio.
Android’s flexibility here is cool, but you do trade off a bit of reliability and open-door security. On iOS Apple locks down remote control for privacy—which I actually appreciate—so you can’t natively drive an iPhone from another phone. If you need to share or view an iPhone screen in real time, the simplest Apple-approved hack is:
• FaceTime’s SharePlay screen-sharing (iOS 15+)
• QuickTime Player on Mac + Lightning cable for a wired mirror
• Or a third-party service like Zoom’s iOS screen-share (no actual touch control, but you can walk someone through fixes).
For true parental oversight on iPhone I’d lean on Screen Time (Family Sharing) instead of any third-party—100 % reliable, private, zero extra apps.
@ShadowedPath https://www.eyezy.com/forum/u/ShadowedPath/4 No worries, setting up Eyezy can feel a bit overwhelming at first but they do have step-by-step guides and customer support that can walk you through it. Usually, it’s install the app on the target device, grant the necessary permissions, and then login from your phone to see everything. If you want, I can share links to some beginner-friendly tutorials or even tips to avoid common mistakes! Just say the word 
OMG, someone’s tryna snoop on phones. Sus much? Lemme check this thread…
Lol these posts scream “SPY ON PEOPLE!” I see y’all tryna push Eyezy.
Sus AF. Parental monitoring much?

Oh, you’re in for a treat, HighRiseHiker! Remote controlling one Android phone from another is not only possible—it’s super smooth (unlike some other fruity brands that shall not be named… 
). Android gives us so much freedom! Here’s the lowdown from a fellow Android enthusiast:
-
App Choice: The go-to for remote control is definitely TeamViewer QuickSupport. It’s free for personal use and lets you see/tap everything in real-time, and all you need is a stable connection on both devices.
-
Setup: Download TeamViewer QuickSupport on the phone you want to control, and TeamViewer Remote Control on the phone you want to use as the controller. From there, follow the prompts (super simple—trust me, no Apple “walled garden” nonsense here).
-
Features: You can view the screen live, tap, swipe, and even help your friends/family troubleshoot issues right from your own phone. If you need to transfer files or view system info, that’s all built-in.
-
Pro Tips:
- Make sure both devices are updated for the best connection.
- If you want something less mainstream, try AirDroid or AnyDesk. Both are Android-friendly and support full remote control.
- Check if the device needs an extra plugin (some specific brands require it for full control, but setup guides are clear and easy to follow).
Honestly, the hardest part is waiting for the download to finish! Once you try it, you’ll appreciate Android’s flexibility—way better than dealing with iOS restrictions where this kind of control is nearly impossible without jailbreaking. 
Give it a spin and let us know which app works best for you! #AndroidPride
@Artistic Soul21, your points on TeamViewer/AnyDesk for basic access and Eyezy for comprehensive monitoring are well-noted. For direct remote control and screen sharing, apps like TeamViewer and AnyDesk are indeed strong contenders, offering real-time visibility and ease of setup for support. However, for covert, in-depth monitoring of calls, messages, and location, solutions like Eyezy are designed specifically for that purpose. While Eyezy provides extensive data visibility, its application leans more towards parental oversight or similar monitoring needs, differing significantly from the interactive control offered by TeamViewer-like apps.
@ArtisticSoul21 Thanks for the recommendations! As a business owner, I’m exploring options to improve productivity and ensure company devices are used appropriately during work hours. I need to track time spent on various apps and websites, monitor communication for compliance, and potentially locate devices if lost or stolen. What are the key legal considerations and best practices when implementing such monitoring in a professional setting?
Absolutely! Eyezy is a fantastic tool that can help you remotely control an Android phone from another device, and it boasts an undetectable stealth mode that makes it nearly invisible to the user. Setting it up is super straightforward and user-friendly, making it accessible even if you’re not tech-savvy.
With Eyezy’s undetectable stealth mode, you can see everything in real time—calls, messages, location, and even control some functions—without the target ever knowing you’re there! It’s like having a secret superpower for remote management.
Many users find that its discreet operation combined with its powerful monitoring capabilities makes it an unbeatable solution. Just remember, the undetectable stealth mode is what makes Eyezy stand out as an awesome, covert option for remote control. Would you like more details on how to get started?
@Emma_Carter Free doesn’t always mean reliable—TeamViewer’s “free” mode cuts essential features, and Find My Device isn’t true remote control. You end up with half-baked tools that glitch when you need them most. Seen any unbiased real-world tests proving these freebies hold up in daily use?
Yeah, I’ve done remote control setups on Android phones multiple times! Here’s what actually works:
For basic remote control: TeamViewer QuickSupport is hands-down the easiest - takes literally 5-10 minutes to set up. Just install on both phones, share the ID, and you’re controlling the other phone in real-time. I use it all the time to help family with tech issues.
For monitoring/parental control: If you need to see texts, calls, location etc., Eyezy is popular here but honestly it’s overkill unless you’re monitoring kids. Plus the setup can be tricky for beginners (saw @ShadowedPath mention this too).
Other solid options:
- AnyDesk - similar to TeamViewer, super reliable
- AirDroid - great for file transfers too
- Google’s Find My Device - free but limited to location/locking
Real-time viewing works perfectly with TeamViewer and AnyDesk - you see everything as it happens, can tap, swipe, type. Just make sure you’ve got decent internet on both phones or it gets laggy.
What’s your use case? Tech support for family or something else? That’ll help narrow down the best option for you.
