Hey,
So I bought my grandma an iPhone 5, and she is struggling with it, so I often try to guide her via phone call but is hard, does anyone know an app than allows me to remotely control her iPhone from my iPhone?
iPhone 6s, iOS 10.2
This is the free version.

You don't get to level 9 with "useless posts." The number of posts doesn't matter; the ONLY way to get points (other than the 4 you have for just joining) is to make posts that the original poster in a thread reported as being Helpful (5 points) or that solved the problem (10 points). So FoxFifth's 59,000 points means that somewhere between 5,900 and 11,800 visitors to the forum found his responses Helpful or that they solved the posted problem, AND they took the time to click a "Solved" or "Helpful" button. As only about 25% of posters bother to click a button it's more likely that Foxfifth has helped closer to 25,000 or more users.
If you want to earn points perhaps you should consider helping people.
I haven't used this with an iPhone but the latest version claims mobile-to-mobile remote control and screen sharing: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/teamviewer-remote-control/id692035811?mt=8
thank you for your answer, you are right indeed it says phone to phone remote control, so I downloaded it to 2 iPhone tried to remote control but nothing happaned
I've used TeamViewer (free version) between Mac and Windows and it worked well but as I noted in my post above I've never used it on an iPhone. I just checked their website (briefly) and saw one statement that said mobile to mobile remote connections require "Premium and above." There may be more information at their website: https://www.teamviewer.com/en/latest-version/ and hopefully someone else here will respond with another solution.
It does not allow full remote control. It has a chat function between devices, and you can make screenshots of the device to "see" what the user sees. You can also add email accounts.
Better then nothing, but not full remote control.
I tried it but still not working... pls anyone else with a solution?
I don't think you will find anything that would allow you to do that. It would be a major security problem and Apple's guidelines for developers would not allow it.
Define "still not working"
How do you expect anyone to help you?
still not working=I registered and tried to attach the two iPhones via the app but nothing happens. There are instructions how to attach the devices but my devices wont attach
I dont think this is a security breach if the phone that I want to acesses allows me to... I dont mean to hack the phone I just mean to control the other phone by consent. This is already possible between 2 windows computers so I thought it could be possible with 2 iPhones aswell.
There is no attach.
The iOS device downloads and runs the iOS teamviewer app.
You run the Teamviewer app on a Mac or PC. The iOS device holder sends you you the 9 digit ID. You enter that in your PC/Mac app and click on CONNECT TO PARTNER. Your partner on the iOS device clicks on ALLOW
You'll see this from the PC/Mac. There is NO iOS to iOS control.
Not between 2 iOS devices.
Between an iOS device and either a PC or Mac.
See the video (go to https://www.teamviewer.com/en/latest-version/ and find the section shown in the photo below). The video states that you can do remote control of Android and Windows phones from an iPhone but you can only view the screen of the other phone if the other phone is an iPhone. And note that it requires "Premium and above."
FYI... the free version allows screenshots. As many as you wish, plus chat, you can send wifi settings (?) and set up an email account... all remotely. But no control.
I've used it with a family member and it's not horrible. Not great, but better than phone charades.
My take on the paid version is still no control over an iOS device, or at least a very limited/different level of control. The client has to have Teamviewer's SDK installed.
From the video...
Connect to and remotely control are not the same thing.
Oh, and it's $1600 CAD.
how to remotely control an iPhone?
