The ability to manage and interact with one iOS device from another allows for functionalities such as technical support, collaborative screen sharing, and streamlined device management. For example, one might remotely assist a family member in troubleshooting an application issue on their iPad directly from their own iPhone.
This capability provides significant advantages in various scenarios. It facilitates efficient remote assistance for less tech-savvy users, enhances collaboration among individuals working on shared visual projects, and enables IT professionals to remotely manage a fleet of iOS devices, improving efficiency and reducing downtime. Early implementations were often limited to basic screen mirroring, but advancements have led to more interactive control features.
