My folks have an Android tablet and my dad has an Android phone, they're getting on a bit and I am, obviously, IT support.

Can anyone recommend me an app that would allow me to see what they're seeing on the tablet or phone, and operate that phone or tablet, that will not require me to drive the half an hour to their place? Ideally I'd be able to use it on my Android phone or Windows laptop

Anydesk has worked well for me in the past.

I didn't realise there was a Teamviewer for Android. I've used the desktop version for years.

Yeh it's pretty 'multi platform'.

Trying to control a pc from a phone is.. 'Interesting' on a tiny screen but it works.
Works with apple too.
Probably Linux as well but I've never tried it.
