Remote Control of Android Phone using software version 9 or older.

PaulDThomas

I am being told that one can control an Android phone remotely without a screen sharing acceptance response if the Android phone is using a software version older than 10. The first time sharing there will be a prompt that says "do not show me this again" and future connections do not require acceptance and Google/Android is allowing this connection to remain. Does anyone have experience with this scenario?

I will be using an Iphone 12Promax to communicate and control the Android phone. Thanks so much for any and all feedback.

Remote control of an Android phone without user permission is not officially supported, even on Android 9 or older. The user must allow access at least once and enable required permissions. Android 10 and newer versions added stricter security, but older versions are not fully silent either. Any app claiming permanent control without consent is unsafe or against Google policies.
