TeamViewer launches QuickSupport for Windows 10 Mobile

Remote controlling has become an essential thing for many PC users, and we’re not referring only to IT admins or engineers who do this for a living. Just think how easy it is to simply connect to your grandma’s computer to remove the adware that she installed when looking for exotic trip destinations.

And starting today, the same remote controlling options are available on Windows 10 Mobile devices thanks to TeamViewer’s QuickSupport app.

To be clear, this app allows you to remotely control any Windows 10 Mobile device running the application just with a simple ID, so it’s all very similar to TeamViewer, and the connection is established in a few seconds.

“Get remote support for your device from any computer!  Enable remote control of your Windows device. Allow a technician to access and control your device as if it were in their hands,” the app description published in the store reads.

The app comes with a pretty compelling feature lineup, which includes live screen sharing, so you always see what you’re working on, clipboard support to exchange information between the two connected devices, as well as strong security with 256-bit AES encoding.

The application is offered completely free of charge and comes only with support for Windows 10 Mobile, so Windows Phone users won’t be able to install it. It’s available in the store and obviously requires an Internet connection to be able to remotely control a device.
