Remotely view an iPad from another iPad?

Question

Remotely view an iPad from another iPad?

I would like to remotely view my mom's iPad when she I need to play Son Tech Support. (We live in different states.) And right now, she's having trouble setting up a new cable modem and Airport Extreme.

I don't need control of her device but just to see what's on her screen. I can then direct her what settings to choose.

Are there any apps like this? Like a remote viewer? Or an app that uses ReplayKit?

The only other work around is to Facetime her from another iDevice and have her point the camera at the iPad screen. Not exactly an elegant solution...

If she is running a Mac at 10.10 or better and has Quicktime, you can view her iPad screen from your PC/Mac.

You would use Teamviewer etc. to connect to a Mac that she has her iPad attached to.

TeamViewer needs a helper app, also, on the Mac, and if the OP's mom is technilogically challenged, setting THAT up to work could be a challenge.

That was one of the reasons I stated, no.

This is no easy plug and plug solution to get the OP what they need.

The available solutions are not easy to setup, especially for the computer challenged.

If you have an iMac and MacBook Pro MacBook Air any other device that is not an iPad or iPhone you can go into your computer into the settings and click on the system preferences the little Apple you can then set to share screens or you can do it all Underneath your router so that you can share screens as long as you're both OK with that although it does set you up to vulnerability of certain threats for people being able to access your sister easier
