2. TeamViewer Quick Support

TeamViewer is one of the most popular and free applications when it comes to screen sharing. It even allows the remote user to control your device directly (on supported phones like OnePlus). The remote support feature is very helpful in the event of troubleshooting situations where you cannot solve a problem or don’t know how to use or access a particular setting or app on your device.

Like on a computer, using the app on Android is pretty simple and straightforward. However, both parties need to install a different set of apps. The one who wants to share his or her screen needs to install TeamViewer Quick Support and when you open the app after installing, TeamViewer will generate a unique ID for your device. Share that ID with the person or device you wish to share the screen with. To access your device, that person or device should have TeamViewer for Remote Control installed. Once they enter the unique ID into that app, the screen sharing will start.

If you want to let the remote user control your device, you have to install an add-on depending on your Android device manufacturer. You can easily install the add-on by tapping on the “Install Additional Add-on” option appearing in the Advanced Settings window.

Pros

  • Free for personal use
  • Cross-platform
  • Works on both WiFi and data
  • Guided other smartphones with gestures

Closing Words

These were some of the best Android Apps to mirror your Android screen to other Android devices. While all the apps support screen mirror, only TeamViewer has remote assist feature, but even that requires a special add-on which can be install from the settings menu and some devices don’t have an add-on (Moto for example). RemoDroid can also support remote access if you have root permissions. But in general, there are no simple and straightforward apps with good remote capabilities like on PC.
