Dear pals, I have TeamViewer installed on both my iPhone and my PC. On iOS, it is quite inconvenient and gives me very little control. I've heard of Chrome Remote Desktop and was wondering if I could use it on my iPhone. If it’s impossible, is there any other free remote access tool that I can use to manage and control my PC from my iPhone? Thank you."
