In a one-on-one FaceTime audio or video call, you can either take control of another person’s screen or let someone you trust control yours. This feature can be used to troubleshoot problems or show how to use an app.
Note: Remote control is not currently supported in the European Union.
Request control of another person’s screen
You can ask to control an iPhone screen that is already being shared with you.
Requirements: Both participants must be using iOS 18 or later.
-
Open the FaceTime app on your iPhone.
-
Tap the window displaying the shared screen.
-
Select the Remote Control option.
Once the other person approves your request, you can tap, swipe, and interact with their screen. You can also use the on-screen keyboard within apps.
Approve a remote control request
Someone can control your screen if they are in your contacts and are using an iPhone or iPad running iOS 18, iPadOS 18, or newer. Additional limitations may apply to help protect privacy and personal data.
When you receive a remote control request in the FaceTime app, tap Allow to approve it.
Warning: A person controlling your screen may be able to open or close apps, adjust settings, remove content, or send messages. Only accept requests from people you fully trust.
Certain actions may be blocked for the remote user, such as changing Apple Account or Face ID settings, making purchases, or wiping the device. Face ID and Touch ID are disabled while remote control is active.
You can continue to interact with your device at any time—your input takes priority over remote actions.
Decline a remote control request
When a remote control request appears in the FaceTime app, tap Don’t Allow. Screen sharing will continue, and the other person can still point out areas by tapping, drawing, or writing on your screen.
End remote control
You can stop remote control whenever you choose:
-
If someone is controlling your screen, tap Stop at the bottom of the screen sharing window.
-
If you are controlling someone else’s screen, tap the Remote Control button at the bottom of the screen sharing window.
Ending the FaceTime call will also stop screen sharing and remote control.
