There is no mechanism to implement remote “touch” input and since iOS is explicitly a touch interface OS there is no means to remote control it. That and the fact that iOS‘s sandbox security model precludes any app from controlling or affecting another. So no, remote control of an iOS device is not possible.

No. You cannot control an ipad remotely. You can view the screen with a local computer. You can share the computer screen with the world.


Read the mentioned article carefully. It say you can control a computer from a ipad. Nothing about the other way around.

This may be helpful with what you want to do.



On iPad/iPhone. On your iPad, you'll need to download the Chrome Remote Desktop app. Open the app, tap Sign In and enter your Google ID, then select the appropriate Mac computer in the My Computers window. Enter the PIN we chose earlier and tap Connect.Mar 23, 2018
