After Android devices, Google has now launched an app for iOS
devices that can log into your computer from your iPhone or iPad. Called
Chrome Remote Desktop app, the iOS version lets you remotely control your
computer using your smartphone or tablet,Venturebeat reported.
The app can also give a
friend temporary access to your desktop in case you want some key information
while being away from home or office. It proves beneficial as it
allows users to access files while traveling.
This is how it works: On your computer, set up remote access
using the Chrome Remote Desktop app from Chrome Web Store. On your iOS device,
open the app and tap your online computers to connect. The app authorises
the connection by generating a code which you must input into your smartphone
or tablet. The app is available on Apple’s App Store.
Earlier reports suggest that Chrome
Remote Desktop first launched out of beta in October 2012. It would allows
users to remotely access another computer through Chrome browser or a
Chromebook.
Earlier, Google had released a Chrome Remote Desktop app on
the Play Store. Following on the basic features of Chromoting i.e.
remotely accessing another computer through Chrome, the Chrome Remote Desktop
app would work just like the Remote Desktop, VNC, and other similar apps that
are available as browser extensions.
There is no news if
‘Google Chrome Remote Desktop’ will be available for Blackberry or Windows
Phone users.
