TeamViewer 12 brings Windows phone remote support to the PC and more

Jack Wilkinson

TeamViewer is upping its game in terms of support for Windows phone with TeamViewer 12, currently in beta.

With TeamViewer 12, there are many new features available for customers of both the free version and paid versions (for commercial use), for Windows phone users in particular, there are 2 major new features:

  • Windows phone to Windows phone remote connection. Users can now remotely support another Windows phone device from a Windows phone device, in addition to iOS and Android devices.
  • PC to Windows phone remote connection. If for any reason there’s a need to control a Windows phone from the comfort of a PC, now it’s possible.

These 2 new features are sure to prove useful for some who want to control their PC from home via out-and-about with their phone. Likewise, it is easy to offer help to a friend by connecting your Windows phone to theirs. To read the full list of new features, which are mainly reserved for paying customers, you can take a look here.

An update is available to the TeamViewer app on Windows phone and Windows PCs. For PC, users will need to be registered for the beta program which can be done via the desktop application.
