Why need to take control of someone screen?
It’s inevitable for us to meet with some situations like we need to give support to our friends, colleagues or family members about the IT-related issue if they have no idea about it need to deal with some stuff urgently. At this time, we need to remote into someone’s PC with our PC or iPhone to offer help.
