Удалённый доступ к рабочему столу компьютера – одна из самых малоизвестных функций для продвинутых пользователей. Однако она доступна даже на смартфонах с Android. Есть два способа получить доступ к компьютеру со смартфона – с помощью транслирования контента и с помощью удалённого рабочего стола. Сегодня мы сосредоточимся на втором.

5 best remote desktop apps for Android

Remote access to a desktop is one of the most niche power-user features out there. However, it is perfectly doable on an Android device. There are two basic ways to do it. Users can remote into their Android device from a computer. We covered that functionality in our best screen mirroring apps for Android list. This list focuses more on accessing your desktop computer from your Android device. There are a bunch of apps that boast remote access as a feature. However, only some of them are actually good. Here are the best remote desktop apps for Android!

The best remote desktop apps for Android

AnyDesk

Price: Free / $79-$229 per year

AnyDesk is a serviceable option in the remote desktop space on Android. It works like any other remote desktop app. You connect your phone to your computer and then use your computer from your phone. It worked pretty well in our testing and it uses a simple UI. There weren’t any real issues with it. The app is free for personal use. The prices we listed are for commercial use mostly. It definitely has its flaws, but we also put apps in lists for a reason. Give it a try and see if you like it. Worst case, you don’t and have four other options. VNC Viewer and this app competed for the fifth slot on this list so it’s right up there as well.

Chrome Remote Desktop

Price: Free

Chrome Remote Desktop is one of the most popular remote desktop apps. Users install the app from the Chrome Web Store on their computer and then this app from Google Play. From there, follow the installation instructions and you should be able to connect. The app worked most of the time in our testing. It’s quicker and simpler than many of the other options, including TeamViewer. However, it’s also been two years since Chrome Remote Desktop saw an update as of the writing of this article. We recommend trying this one first, but don’t be shocked if it’s not a flawless performance.

Microsoft Remote Desktop

Price: Free

Microsoft Remote Desktop is arguably Chrome Remote Desktop’s biggest free competitor. It works about the same way. You simply enable remote access on your Windows PC and install this app on your phone. The two should let your devices connect to one another. The positive part is you not needing a Google Chrome installation for this one to work on Windows devices. The bad news is the performance is about the same so you’re not really getting a better product. In any case, PC users should definitely try this one first since it’s first-party software and it may prove to be more stable over a longer period of time. Microsoft has another remote desktop app (Google Play), but it’s more for Windows Server and Enterprise.

Splashtop Personal Remote PC

Price: Free / $5 per month / $16.99 per year

Splashtop is a less popular, but still fairly successful remote desktop app. It works like the others with dual apps on your computer and Android device. You can access anything on your computer from your phone on your local network. You can add access from anywhere for $5 per month or $16.99 per year. This lets you access your device on any network, including any WiFi network or mobile data. The app also lets you access your webcam to check up on your home without too much trouble. It worked as well as Chrome and Microsoft did in our testing.

TeamViewer

Price: Free for personal use

TeamViewer is kind of the obvious choice for remote desktop apps. It gives remote access to your computer from your Android device. It’s a little bit more complicated of a setup, but it works just as well as one would expect. It also includes features like file transfers in both directions, encryption, and real-time sound and HD video transmission. There are features included for helping, say, a friend or coworker. However, it works perfectly fine for just goofing around on your computer as well. The app is entirely free for personal use. Those who use it for business need a subscription.

Applies to: Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, Android 7.0 and later

You can use the Remote Desktop client for Android to work with Windows apps and desktops directly from your Android device or a Chromebook that supports the Google Play Store.

This article will show you how to get started using the client. If you have any additional questions, make sure to check our FAQ.

• Curious about the new releases for the Android client? Check out What’s new for the Android client.
• The Android client supports devices running Android 6.0 and later, as well as Chromebooks with ChromeOS 53 and later. Learn more about Android applications on Chrome at Chrome OS Systems Supporting Android Apps.

Download the Remote Desktop client

Here’s how to set up the Remote Desktop client on your Android device:

1. Download the Microsoft Remote Desktop client from Google Play.
2. Launch RD client from your list of apps.
3. Add a Remote Desktop connection or remote resources. Remote Desktop connections let you connect directly to a Windows PC and remote resources to access apps and desktops published to you by an admin.

Add a Remote Desktop connection

Now that you have the client on your device, you can add Remote Desktop connections to access your remote resources.

Before you add a connection, if you haven’t done so already, set up your PC to accept remote connections.

To add a Remote Desktop connection:

In the Connection Center, tap +, and then tap Desktop.

Enter the name of the remote PC into PC name. This name can be a Windows computer name, an Internet domain name, or an IP address. You can also append port information to the PC name (for example, MyDesktop:3389 or 10.0.0.1:3389). This field is the only required field.

Select the User name you use to access the Remote PC.

• Select Enter every time for the client to ask for your credentials every time you connect to the remote PC.
• Select Add user account to save an account that you use frequently so you don’t have to enter credentials every time you sign in. To learn more about user accounts, see Manage your user accounts.

You can also tap on Show additional options to set the following optional parameters:

• In Friendly name, you can enter an easy-to-remember name for the PC you’re connecting to. If you don’t specify a friendly name, the PC name is displayed instead.
• The Gateway is the Remote Desktop gateway you’ll use to connect to a computer from an external network. Contact your system administrator for more information.
• Sound selects the device your remote session uses for audio. You can choose to play sound on your local device, the remote device, or not at all.

• Redirect local storage enables local storage redirection. This setting is disabled by default.

When you’re done, tap Save.

Need to edit these settings? Tap the More options menu (. ) next to the name of the desktop, and then tap Edit.

Want to remove the connection? Again, tap the More options menu (. ), and then tap Remove.

If you get an error name «0xf07» that says something like «We couldn’t connect to the remote PC because the password associated with the user account has expired,» try again with a new password.

Add remote resources

Remote resources are RemoteApp programs, session-based desktops, and virtual desktops published by your admin. The Android client supports resources published from Remote Desktop Services, Windows 365, and Azure Virtual Desktop deployments.

To add remote resources:

1. In the Connection Center, tap +, and then tap Remote Resource Feed.
2. Enter the Feed URL. This URL can be a URL or an email address:
   • The URL is the RD Web Access server provided to you by your admin. If you’re accessing resources from Azure Virtual Desktop or Windows 365, you can use one of the following URLs:
     • If you’re using Azure Virtual Desktop (classic), use: https://rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com/api/feeddiscovery/webfeeddiscovery.aspx .
     • If you’re using Azure Virtual Desktop, use: https://rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com/api/arm/feeddiscovery .
     • If you’re using Windows 365, use: https://rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com/api/arm/feeddiscovery .
   • If you plan to use Email, enter your email address in this field. Filling out this field tells the client to search for an RD Web Access server associated with your email address if it was configured by your admin.
3. Tap Next.
4. Provide your sign-in information when prompted. The credentials you should use can vary based on the deployment and can include:
   • The User name that has permission to access the resources.
   • The Password associated with the user name.
   • Additional factor, which you may be prompted for a if authentication was configured that way by your admin.
5. When you’re done, tap Save.

The remote resources will be displayed in the Connection Center.

Remove remote resources

To remove remote resources:

1. In the Connection Center, tap the overflow menu (. ) next to the remote resource.
2. Tap Remove.
3. Confirm you’ve removed the resource.

Pin a connection to your home screen

Manage display settings

To change the display settings tap Settings, and then tap Display from the Connection Center.

You can set the following display settings:

Orientation sets the preferred orientation (landscape or portrait) for your session.

If you connect to a PC running Windows 8 or earlier, the session won’t scale correctly if the orientation of the device changes. To make the client scale correctly, disconnect from the PC, then reconnect in the orientation you want to use. You can also ensure correct scaling by using a PC with Windows 10 instead.

Resolution sets the remote resolution you want to use for desktop connections globally. If you have already set a custom resolution for an individual connection, this setting won’t change that.

When you change the display settings, the changes only apply to new connections you make after the you changed the setting. To apply your changes to the session you’re currently connected to, refresh your session by disconnecting and reconnecting.
