If you're the de facto tech support person in your family or circle of friends, you know how frustrating it can be to have to hold someone's hand and walk them through every troubleshooting step. Luckily, several options now exist for you to remotely access a
Mac or
Windows PC, which effectively skips the middle man and lets you get straight to fixing the issue yourself.
Unfortunately, such a solution has not existed for troubleshooting problems on smartphones and tablets. Until now, that is.
TeamViewer, the wildly-popular remote desktop client, now has an
Android and
iOS app that will let you adjust a phone's settings from anywhere in the world. In addition to that,
Samsung,
LG,
ZTE, and a handful of other Android devices can even be fully controlled through a screen-mirroring interface, and nearly any
rooted device is eligible as well.
