Updated

因為工作關係,常常要用到遠端桌面軟體,因此花了一些時間測試 5 款免費遠端桌面軟體,包括 Teamviewer、DeskIn、Anydesk、Awesun 和 Parsec,這裡就分享實測下來幾款在遠端工作、遠端遊戲、遠端觀看影片上的表現,提供給在尋找好用的遠端軟體、或有遠端作業需求的人參考。作者大多數用手機遠端 PC,以及 MacBook 遠端 PC,所以下面的測試比較,都是這種使用環境為主。


免費遠端桌面軟體規格比較表

注: 這裡說的四大平台是 Windows、Mac、iOS 和 Android。


遠端工作:DeskIn優勝Awesun

這 5 款遠端桌面軟體,免費版只有 DeskIn 和 Awesun 可以商用,Teamviewer,Anydesk 和 Parsec 都必須升級付費版才可以,因此在遠端工作情境中,我主要比較 DeskIn 和 Awesun 這二個。

基本操作比較:DeskIn更加直覺順手

DeskIn 和 Awesun 電腦版的操作介面都比較簡潔,一些我會用到的功能都能很快找到,如:文字對話、快速切換雙螢幕畫面。但整體連缐速度和穩定性DeskIn會更高,Awesun相對卡頓感會更强。

操作上,Awesun 的滾輪滑動距離很短,不像 DeskIn 滑動很順,在瀏覽頁面和網頁時感受很明顯。

DeskIn桌面端

DeskIn 手機版可說是我用過最順手的一款,我非常喜歡它的觸控 + 滑鼠混合模式,可以隨時依不同需求快速切換,搭配一些手勢,瀏覽網頁,切換視窗都很方便:


畫面反應速度也極快,就算是用手機,也能很順暢的完成遠端工作。也提供一些不錯的功能,像是跟遠端設備發訊息、語音通話,內建可快速切換視窗的「任務視圖」,這個我覺得非常好用,手機也能很容易切換其他要用的視窗:


Awesun 手機版也有觸控 + 滑鼠混合,另外我還蠻喜歡一點是,功能選單只有單層設計,對手機很友善,可很快找到要使用的功能。但相較於 DeskIn,Awesun 提供的實用功能比較少,尤其是沒有任務視圖快捷鍵,切換視窗就變得困難很多。也沒有跟遠端裝置溝通的功能比如語音通話,必須用其他 App,對於遠端協作來説比較不方便。


檔案傳輸比較:DeskIn無速度、檔案大小限制

DeskIn 手機版的傳輸檔案功能是付費會員專屬,這點比較可惜,但電腦版免費用戶就能用。傳輸速度還蠻快的,可以拖拽傳檔,同個網路,透過 Wi-Fi 傳輸 5GB 檔案大約僅花 3 分多鐘。Awesun 電腦版、手機版都能免費使用傳輸檔案功能,不過有檔案大小限制,超過 1GB 的檔案就不行,所以使用上有侷限。


遠端輸入比較:DeskIn快捷按鍵超順手

打字部分,電腦版都差不多,所以就不比較,只分享手機遠端電腦的體驗。

DeskIn 和 Awesun 手機版鍵盤都大約只佔畫面一半,所以用手機遠端打字起來都還蠻舒服的。

DeskIn 有一個很大的優點,它可以把常用快捷鍵固定懸浮在鍵盤上方或是遠端畫面,像是複製貼上,打字時,我可以很容易複製想要的內容,然後貼在需要的位置,也可以自訂快捷按鍵:

Awesun 就不一樣,它是隱藏在快捷鍵選單裡面,當我選取要複製的內容,還要切換到快捷鍵選單,然後按複製,再切回鍵盤,貼上也一樣,操作相當麻煩

另外,按好快捷鍵後,返回鍵盤是按「默認」,不是「X」 ,但這取名很怪,剛開始我很長按錯,有時候真的會抓狂。


另外三款的操作介面,這邊也簡短分享一下:

Teamviewer:功能齊全但傳檔龜速,手機端操作不順手

  • 連缐較慢:不知道是不是免費版原因,我用下來電腦版和手機版按連線之後都會慢半拍,特別是手機,一開始我還以為是沒點到,結果最後點太多下,顯示重複連線的錯誤。

  • 功能齊全:電腦版功能蠻齊全的,該有的都有,還有提供「留下訊息功能」,遠端階段結束後,訊息會保留下來,如果是幫別人修電腦、傳檔案之類,就能用這功能留下要告訴對方的內容:

  • 傳檔較慢:Teamviewer 電腦版和手機版都能使用傳輸檔案功能。不過,免費版傳檔速度有點驚訝的慢,5GB 竟然要花費 30 幾分鐘才完成。

  • 行動端操作不順手:手機版的滑鼠功能不支援觸控和鼠標共用,需要進到選單切換,操作上不是很方便。複製和貼上的快捷鍵也沒有跟鍵盤整合,而是在另一個選單裡,打字時不太容易複製或貼上內容:

  • 誤判商用:另一個有點煩人的點是,免費版每次用完都會提醒不能用於商業用途,而且是二台設備都會跳出,沒辦法永久關掉


Anydesk:傳檔高速,中文輸入異常

Anydesk電腦版無需安裝登入即可使用,比較方便,但軟體的界面比較古早。很不錯的是檔案傳輸速度非常快,跟 DeskIn 有得拼,但連缐畫面就沒有很順暢,清晰度也不是很夠,特別是滑動頁面,可以明顯感受到慢個 1~2 秒,即便我設定「最佳化反應時間」也一樣。

手機版的功能表隱藏在右側,往左滑才會叫出,我還蠻喜歡這設計,遠端桌面的畫面更不受干擾,但 iPhone 和 Android 遠端 PC 都有一些輸入問題:

iPhone 的中文輸入法支援性不太好,我的 PC 是第三方的輸入法,遠端時沒辦法正常打字,只會出現注音符號,PC 必須切換到 Windows 內建輸入法才能正常打字;

Android 雖然可以正常輸入,但沒辦法操作刪除動作,必須關掉然後重新打開鍵盤才可以。另外切換中文、英文鍵盤時,有時候手機的鍵盤也會突然消失。


Parsec:適合遊戲,基本無辦公功能

Parsec 是唯一一款不支援中文的遠端桌面軟體,不過設置還蠻簡單,安裝好並登入帳號,就能開始遠端連線。

電腦版幾乎沒有什麼功能,連傳輸檔案都不行,只能調整畫面和傳輸設定。手機版僅支援 Android,所以 iPhone 沒辦法用,不過也沒差,因為這款的手機版非常陽春,就只能操控跟打字,畫面還無法放大、不能輸入中文,很不好用:

Parsec 比較適合用在遊戲用途,工作或一般使用完全不推薦。


遠端遊戲情境比較

遊戲部分我測試「用 MacBook 遠端玩 PC 上的暗黑破壞神四」,來試試每一款的連線品質和延遲狀況。這也是我偶爾會用到的狀況,有時候帶 MacBook Pro 出門工作,休息時會想玩遊戲,而家裡的 PC 如果開著,就能用遠端軟體輕鬆實現。

Teamviewer

首先我測試 Teamviewer,雖然玩是沒問題,但明顯就是感覺到不順,有時候移動會慢半拍、甚至畫面頓了一下,玩起來體驗沒有那麼好,不太推薦。我也有測試過品質設定在「速度優先」,狀況一樣沒有改善。

DeskIn

再來是 DeskIn,就讓我相當滿意,畫面清晰度高,遊玩 30 分鐘都很順,另外可以看到即時的幀率和延遲度,很不錯。它還有提供 4K 60fps、144fps 的選項,對遊戲應該會更加分,不過僅付費版:

Anydesk

Anydesk 的畫質可說是 5 款當中最好,玩起來也順,但我有發現一個比較麻煩的問題,玩的過程中,我遠端電腦 CPU 佔用率飆升到 70%~80%,導致電腦風扇快速運轉,聲音很大,讓人有點擔心玩久電腦會不會出狀況,不是很放心:

Awesun

Awesun 唯獨切換遊戲場景會稍微頓一下(如:回城),其他都還蠻順的。但這款的 Mac 版好像穩定性有問題,我遠端過一次後,下次再次打開就會當掉,需要重灌軟體才會修復,也沒有聲音:

Parsec

Parsec 遠端遊戲果然很不錯,玩暗黑四順暢度一流,而且有提供頻寬設定,可以根據當前狀況,調整使用的頻寬,進而讓畫面變得更順、延遲度更低。也可以創建房間進行多人遊戲,如果你只有遠端遊戲的需求,可以盲選這款。

遠端觀看影片比較

用手機遠端連回電腦看影片,可以很快速的測出每一款遠端軟體的延遲表現。

我測試多部影片,從 YouTube、Netflix、到電腦裡的影片都有,播放都很順暢的有三款:Teamviewer、DeskIn 以及 Parsec,不過 Teamviewer 和 Parsec 有一些問題。

Teamviewer 雖然速度很順暢,但遠端後聲音很小,就算我把手機聲音調到最大也一樣,而且沒辦法設定靜音,意味著如果電腦有聲音正在播放,那手機就會發出聲音。

Parsec 的速度和聲音品質都相當不錯,但因為手機版沒辦法縮放畫面,因此只能全螢幕播放。

DeskIn 就沒有以上這些問題,各方面都讓人滿意。

至於 Anydesk,畫面是很順,不過目前手機版的傳輸音效是壞的,iOS 和 Android 都是,我有確認過功能開啟,手機也調到最大聲且關閉靜音,還是沒有聲音。

Awesun 就蠻差的,聲音會斷斷續續,而且無法跟畫面同步,由此可見連線品質不是很好。

如何選擇遠端桌面軟體

在選擇遠端桌面軟體時,「功能」和「連線品質」可說是最重要,功能一定要能滿足你的使用需求,像是能不能傳輸檔案、跟遠端設備通訊、鍵盤打字順不順手。不同的軟體也會有一些不同的附加功能提高軟體可用性,像DeskIn就可以進行螢幕擴充和語音通話。

另外連線品質如果延遲太高,會大幅影響你的遠端操作效率,所以一定要延遲低的遠端軟體。

還有支援多平台,最好 iOS、Android、Windows、PC 都有,這樣未來無論換什麼平台,都能繼續進行遠端作業。

總結

我原本以為最有名的 Teamviewer,使用體驗上應該會最好,沒想到測試之後發現還蠻多缺點的,由此可見,真的要用過才知道哪一款最適合自己。

整體表現最讓我滿意的是 DeskIn,如果你正在找遠端桌面軟體,很推薦試試這款。

 Someone Accessing Your Phone Remotely

How to Stop Someone from Accessing Your Phone Remotely

In today's hyper-connected world, our smartphones hold everything — personal messages, photos, financial accounts, and more. But what happens when someone is accessing your phone remotely without your knowledge?

This guide explains how to tell if your phone is being accessed remotely and how to stop someone from accessing your phone remotely, whether you're using Android or iPhone.

How to Tell if Someone Is Accessing Your Phone Remotely

Here are the top signs that your phone might be remotely hacked or monitored:

1. Unusual Phone Behavior

Apps open by themselves, settings change without input, or your screen flickers — these are signs of unauthorized remote control.

2. Rapid Battery Drain

Spyware and remote-access tools often run in the background, consuming battery life significantly faster than normal.

3. High Data Usage

If your mobile data usage spikes and can’t be explained by your regular app use, it may indicate data is being sent elsewhere without your consent.

4. Background Noise on Calls

Hearing electronic interference or clicking sounds during calls? It could be a sign your phone is being tapped or monitored.

5. Unknown Apps Installed

Apps you didn’t download may be malicious software installed remotely to spy on your activity, especially on Android devices.

How to Stop Someone from Accessing Your Phone Remotely

Once you suspect unauthorized access, here’s how to take back control:

 1. Remove Hidden Apps via Android

  • Go to Settings > Apps > Manage Apps

    Remove Suspicious Apps to Stop Remote Phone Access


  • Look for unknown or recently installed apps you didn’t authorize

  • Uninstall them immediately


 2. Change All Your Passwords

  • Update your phone lock screen password

  • Change passwords for Google, Apple ID, and social media accounts

  • Use complex and unique passwords for each platform


 3. Check Google or Apple Devices

  • On Android:
    Settings > Google > Manage your Google Account > Security > Manage Devices

  • On iPhone:
    Settings > [your name] > Scroll to see devices

  • Remove any unfamiliar devices from your account

    Signs Your Phone Is Being Accessed Remotely And How to Stop It


 4. Install a Trusted Antivirus

A good mobile antivirus can detect spyware, trojans, or keyloggers. Run a full scan to clean your phone.

5. Avoid Clicking Suspicious Links

Never tap on unknown links received via SMS, email, or messaging apps. They might install remote-access tools instantly.

6. Avoid Public Wi-Fi & Charging Stations

Hackers can exploit public networks or USB ports to inject malware. Always use VPN and your own charger when in public.

 7. Factory Reset as Last Resort

If all else fails, back up your data and perform a full factory reset to wipe out any hidden malware or backdoors.

Final Thoughts

If you're worried that someone is accessing your phone remotely, it's critical to act fast. Early signs like fast battery drain or unknown apps can be your first warning. Follow the steps above to stop remote access on Android or iPhone and keep your digital life secure.

Make Work Fun Again with Playful Work Design

Playful Work Design: Turning Routine Jobs Into Joyful Wins

We’ve all heard the phrase “Work Hard, Play Hard.” It’s a motto that’s especially popular among those born in the 80s and 90s — a generation that believes serious effort deserves serious fun.

But what if we didn’t have to separate the two?

What if work and play could happen at the same time — even during office hours?

That’s exactly the idea behind playful work design — a concept that helps employees shape their daily tasks to be more enjoyable, interactive, and fulfilling.

Let’s dive into how this works, why it matters more than ever in today’s hybrid/remote work setup, and how tools like Deskin make it real.

Boost Productivity with Playful Work Design

What Is Playful Work Design?

In simple terms, playful work design is when employees actively shape their work environment to feel more like play — without changing the actual job.

Instead of just waiting for motivation, they create it.

Researchers Scharp et al. (2019) describe it as a proactive strategy where employees inject fun, humor, or challenge into their tasks. This is done in two main ways:

  • Designing fun: Making work enjoyable (e.g., adding music, humor, or friendly banter)

  • Designing competition: Creating personal goals or team-based challenges

And this isn’t just theory. Studies have shown that playful work design leads to more motivation, creativity, and long-term performance.

In fact, Petelczyc et al. (2018) note that “play at work” promotes engagement, positive emotion, and strong internal drive. Meanwhile, Csikszentmihalyi (2020) — the man behind the famous Flow Theory — supports this by saying that play fuels motivation and personal well-being.

Why Offices (and Remote Teams) Need Playful Work Design

Let’s be real. Most of us spend 7 to 9 hours a day working — often repeating the same rituals daily.

Even the most dedicated employees get bored when there’s no variety or challenge. That’s when creativity kicks in — and employees start finding their own ways to stay sane and energized.

This is where playful work design shows its true value.

Examples?

  • Break-time gaming on smartphones or office PCs

  • Office tournaments using repurposed desks as ping-pong tables

  • Personalized desks filled with mini toys, plushies, or LEGO builds

  • Teams adding memes, jokes, or challenges in Slack threads

The best part? These playful moments don’t hurt productivity. They often improve it.

When people enjoy their environment, they show up better. They perform better. They stay longer.

And with today’s flexible tools, remote workers can do the same.

Competition and Play Build Focus, Not Just Fun

Here’s another angle: Play isn’t just about joy — it’s about drive.

Vleet & Feeney (2015) explain that games come with targets and goals. There’s always something to achieve — and the drive to “win” keeps people focused.

Think about how powerful that can be at work.

Instead of forcing motivation, employees choose to participate in challenges — just like they do in games. They go all-in. They ignore distractions. They aim to win.

Now imagine applying that same energy to a weekly report, a sales target, or a design deadline.

When work is gamified and rewarding, people naturally push themselves.

It’s no longer about surviving the day. It’s about finishing strong.

Interactivity Sparks Collaboration

Playful work isn’t a solo thing. It's interactive.

In games, we strategize, calculate, cooperate — all to achieve a win. The same goes for teams using playful design at work.

When playful elements are added, employees are more likely to:

  • Share ideas

  • Collaborate on problem-solving

  • Support each other to reach shared goals

In short, playful work design helps teams bond and thrive.

Remote Work? Make Play Part of the Plan

“But what if we’re not in the office?”

Great question.

Playful work design can absolutely happen in remote or hybrid teams — especially with platforms like DeskIn.

But what if we didn’t have to separate the two?

What if work and play could happen at the same time — even during office hours?

That’s exactly the idea behind playful work design — a concept that helps employees shape their daily tasks to be more enjoyable, interactive, and fulfilling.

Let’s dive into how this works, why it matters more than ever in today’s hybrid/remote work setup, and how tools like Deskin make it real.

Boost Productivity with Playful Work Design

What Is Playful Work Design?

In simple terms, playful work design is when employees actively shape their work environment to feel more like play — without changing the actual job.

Instead of just waiting for motivation, they create it.

Researchers Scharp et al. (2019) describe it as a proactive strategy where employees inject fun, humor, or challenge into their tasks. This is done in two main ways:

  • Designing fun: Making work enjoyable (e.g., adding music, humor, or friendly banter)

  • Designing competition: Creating personal goals or team-based challenges

And this isn’t just theory. Studies have shown that playful work design leads to more motivation, creativity, and long-term performance.

In fact, Petelczyc et al. (2018) note that “play at work” promotes engagement, positive emotion, and strong internal drive. Meanwhile, Csikszentmihalyi (2020) — the man behind the famous Flow Theory — supports this by saying that play fuels motivation and personal well-being.

Why Offices (and Remote Teams) Need Playful Work Design

Let’s be real. Most of us spend 7 to 9 hours a day working — often repeating the same rituals daily.

Even the most dedicated employees get bored when there’s no variety or challenge. That’s when creativity kicks in — and employees start finding their own ways to stay sane and energized.

This is where playful work design shows its true value.

Examples?

  • Break-time gaming on smartphones or office PCs

  • Office tournaments using repurposed desks as ping-pong tables

  • Personalized desks filled with mini toys, plushies, or LEGO builds

  • Teams adding memes, jokes, or challenges in Slack threads

The best part? These playful moments don’t hurt productivity. They often improve it.

When people enjoy their environment, they show up better. They perform better. They stay longer.

And with today’s flexible tools, remote workers can do the same.

Competition and Play Build Focus, Not Just Fun

Here’s another angle: Play isn’t just about joy — it’s about drive.

Vleet & Feeney (2015) explain that games come with targets and goals. There’s always something to achieve — and the drive to “win” keeps people focused.

Think about how powerful that can be at work.

Instead of forcing motivation, employees choose to participate in challenges — just like they do in games. They go all-in. They ignore distractions. They aim to win.

Now imagine applying that same energy to a weekly report, a sales target, or a design deadline.

When work is gamified and rewarding, people naturally push themselves.

It’s no longer about surviving the day. It’s about finishing strong.

Interactivity Sparks Collaboration

Playful work isn’t a solo thing. It's interactive.

In games, we strategize, calculate, cooperate — all to achieve a win. The same goes for teams using playful design at work.

When playful elements are added, employees are more likely to:

  • Share ideas

  • Collaborate on problem-solving

  • Support each other to reach shared goals

In short, playful work design helps teams bond and thrive.

Remote Work? Make Play Part of the Plan

“But what if we’re not in the office?”

Great question.

7 Best Streaming Apps for Gamers in 2025 (Built for Beginners)

Want to share your epic gameplays live but don’t know which app to use? You're not alone.

More and more gamers want to stream their sessions—whether it’s to grow a following, entertain friends, or even start a side hustle. But with so many streaming apps out there, choosing the right one can feel like sorting inventory in survival mode.

I’ve been in the game (literally) for over a decade, and I’ve tested all the popular options. In this post, I’ll walk you through the 7 best streaming apps for gaming in 2025—what makes them great, who they're for, and how to start, Let’s jump right in.

7 best streaming apps for gaming

1. Twitch

Twitch is still the go-to for most streamers—and for good reason. With a massive audience and deep integration with gaming culture, Twitch lets gamers interact in real time, build loyal communities, and even monetize their channels through subscriptions and Bits. Its features like raids, emotes, and clip sharing make it one of the best choice if you're looking to grow fast and engage consistently.

Why It's Great:

  • Supports PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and mobile.

  • You can grow fast if you're consistent.

  • Huge community = easier to get discovered.

2. YouTube Gaming

YouTube Gaming is a strong contender for gamers who want long-term visibility. Your streams automatically become videos, helping you build a content library. The platform also offers high-resolution streaming and reliable monetization through ads and memberships. As part of the YouTube ecosystem, it's one of the best stream apps for gaming if discoverability and content longevity are your priorities.

Why It's Great:

  • Everything is in one place—videos, shorts, streams.

  • Streamed videos stay on your channel (great for building an archive).

  • Powerful search and recommended videos bring traffic even after you go offline.

3. Facebook Gaming

Facebook Gaming makes streaming accessible to casual gamers and existing Facebook users. It’s easy to go live with just a few clicks, and you can reach friends or groups instantly. Plus, it integrates well with existing Facebook communities. If you're targeting your personal network or niche audiences, this is among the alternative stream apps for gaming with a social twist.

Why It's Great:

  • Easy to invite your friend list.

  • Built-in audience if you're active on Facebook.

  • Live chat, reactions, and share options.

4. Discord

Originally a chat platform, Discord now offers seamless game streaming inside servers. You can share your screen in high quality with minimal delay, making it perfect for private streams among friends or exclusive communities. It may not be for public broadcasting, but it’s definitely one of the best stream apps for gaming if you're prioritizing intimacy and real-time feedback.

Why It's Great:

  • No setup needed—just click “Go Live.”

  • Works well for collabs, hangouts, or coaching sessions.

  • Quality audio/video even on slower connections.

5. Streamlabs

Streamlabs is a broadcasting app built on OBS but with a much more user-friendly interface. It provides overlays, donation tools, and widgets that make your stream look pro with minimal effort. Whether you're streaming on Twitch, YouTube, or Facebook, this tool makes your setup smoother. For streamers who want customization, it ranks among the best stream apps for gaming.

Why It's Great:

  • Easy setup with built-in themes & overlays.

  • Supports multistreaming.

  • Integrated widgets (chat, alerts, donation).

  • Cloud sync & performance analytics

6. OBS Studio

OBS Studio is the industry standard for professional streamers. It offers full control over scenes, audio mixing, filters, and transitions. Though it has a steeper learning curve, its power is unmatched. For those who want flexibility and top-tier quality, OBS is one of the best stream apps for gaming used by esports pros and content creators alike.

Why It's Great:

  • Raw and flexible, perfect for users who want full control.

  • Open-source software for live streaming and recording.

  • Free and lightweight, but requires manual setup (overlays, plugins, etc).

7. Kick

Kick is a newer streaming platform that’s quickly gaining traction due to its creator-friendly policies and high revenue share. With a simple interface and fewer restrictions than other platforms, Kick is ideal for those who want a fresh start. It might still be growing, but it deserves a spot on any list of the best stream apps for gaming in 2025.

Why It's Great:

  • 95/5 revenue split (yes, really).

  • Simple interface, no weird algorithm stuff.

  • Chill vibe and growing fast.

 Someone Accessing Your Phone Remotely

How to Stop Someone from Accessing Your Phone Remotely

In today's hyper-connected world, our smartphones hold everything — personal messages, photos, financial accounts, and more. But what happens when someone is accessing your phone remotely without your knowledge?

This guide explains how to tell if your phone is being accessed remotely and how to stop someone from accessing your phone remotely, whether you're using Android or iPhone.

How to Tell if Someone Is Accessing Your Phone Remotely

Here are the top signs that your phone might be remotely hacked or monitored:

1. Unusual Phone Behavior

Apps open by themselves, settings change without input, or your screen flickers — these are signs of unauthorized remote control.

2. Rapid Battery Drain

Spyware and remote-access tools often run in the background, consuming battery life significantly faster than normal.

3. High Data Usage

If your mobile data usage spikes and can’t be explained by your regular app use, it may indicate data is being sent elsewhere without your consent.

4. Background Noise on Calls

Hearing electronic interference or clicking sounds during calls? It could be a sign your phone is being tapped or monitored.

5. Unknown Apps Installed

Apps you didn’t download may be malicious software installed remotely to spy on your activity, especially on Android devices.

How to Stop Someone from Accessing Your Phone Remotely

Once you suspect unauthorized access, here’s how to take back control:

 1. Remove Hidden Apps via Android

  • Go to Settings > Apps > Manage Apps

    Remove Suspicious Apps to Stop Remote Phone Access


  • Look for unknown or recently installed apps you didn’t authorize

  • Uninstall them immediately


 2. Change All Your Passwords

  • Update your phone lock screen password

  • Change passwords for Google, Apple ID, and social media accounts

  • Use complex and unique passwords for each platform


 3. Check Google or Apple Devices

  • On Android:
    Settings > Google > Manage your Google Account > Security > Manage Devices

  • On iPhone:
    Settings > [your name] > Scroll to see devices

  • Remove any unfamiliar devices from your account

    Signs Your Phone Is Being Accessed Remotely And How to Stop It


 4. Install a Trusted Antivirus

A good mobile antivirus can detect spyware, trojans, or keyloggers. Run a full scan to clean your phone.

5. Avoid Clicking Suspicious Links

Never tap on unknown links received via SMS, email, or messaging apps. They might install remote-access tools instantly.

6. Avoid Public Wi-Fi & Charging Stations

Hackers can exploit public networks or USB ports to inject malware. Always use VPN and your own charger when in public.

 7. Factory Reset as Last Resort

If all else fails, back up your data and perform a full factory reset to wipe out any hidden malware or backdoors.

Final Thoughts

If you're worried that someone is accessing your phone remotely, it's critical to act fast. Early signs like fast battery drain or unknown apps can be your first warning. Follow the steps above to stop remote access on Android or iPhone and keep your digital life secure.
