During a one-to-one FaceTime video or audio call, you can remotely control another participant’s screen or allow them to remotely control yours. The person controlling the screen can help with an issue or demonstrate how to use an app.
Note: Before someone can remotely control your screen, they need to be saved in your contacts. To help protect your data and privacy, additional restrictions may apply to remote control requests.
You can request control of an iPad or iPhone screen that’s being shared with you.
Note: Both you and the other participant need iPadOS 18, iOS 18, or later.
In the FaceTime app on your iPad, tap Don’t Allow. Screen sharing continues, and the other participant can still tap, draw, or write on your screen to highlight important areas.
You can end remote control at any time. Do one of the following:
If you’re allowing someone to control your screen: Tap Stop at the top right of the screen sharing window.
If you're controlling someone else’s screen: Tap Collaborate on projects with Messages on iPadUse video conferencing features on iPad
