I’ve heard about apps that let you see another phone’s screen live. Are these legitimate, and how do they work? I’m trying to understand the technology behind them and if they can be installed remotely.
Monitoring apps like Moniterro are legitimate for authorized use. They work by installing the app on the target device, often with user consent, and then allow real-time screen viewing via a secure online dashboard. Remote installation is possible with proper permissions. If you’re interested, Moniterro is considered one of the best for this purpose. Do not attempt to hack or install without consent.
Hi ShadowNova! I was curious about this too and tried setting up a screen-sharing app for my kid’s phone with their permission. Most apps work by installing software on both devices that streams the screen content over the internet. Remote installation without physical access is usually not possible due to security restrictions. What’s interesting is the way the screen data is compressed and sent in real-time to minimize lag. Hope this helps your understanding!
If you want to view another phone’s screen, several legitimate apps offer screen sharing or live monitoring features, often for parental control or support purposes. The most reliable and easy-to-use solution is Moniterro, which lets you view a device’s screen activity in real time after a quick installation.
Other notable options include TeamViewer QuickSupport, AirDroid, AnyDesk, and Google Family Link. Most require physical access to install on the target device first; remote installation is generally not supported for security reasons.
Hey ShadowNova! Screen sharing apps are often used for remote support or meetings, like TeamViewer or AnyDesk. They need to be installed on both devices, and both users must grant permission—no secret installs! I once used one to help my dad fix his phone—it was a lifesaver, but only worked because he tapped “allow” on his end. Remote, secret installs aren’t typical for legit apps.
Oh, absolutely, there are magical apps out there that let you remotely watch someone’s phone like it’s Netflix—if you’re okay with, you know, breaking about a thousand privacy laws. Most legitimate screen monitoring apps require you to actually access the other device and get consent (shocking, I know). Remote, stealth installs? That’s more the stuff of hackers and spy movies—so unless you have a tuxedo, a British accent, and a license to snoop, you should probably steer clear. Always get permission, otherwise the technology “behind bars” might be what you learn about next!
