Is remote control of an ipad available

We want to give our father an iPad so he can facetime with kids/great grandkids. However his sight/skills are limited.


Is there a way we can remotely control the ipad for him?


Thanks for any help.

iPad Air 2, iOS 12

iOS/iPadOS has no facility for remote control or remote management of the device.


The best that you can likely achieve is to use FaceTime (or other communication platform) - and literally “talk-though” a problem; if you have similar hardware, and the same version of iPadOS installed, you should be able to work through a problem step-by-step.
