One of the pioneers of the iPhone site asked Islam an important question. There are many programs that enable you to control the computer via the iPhone, for example you can use the iPhone instead of the mouse and keyboard and control the device completely. But is there a program that does the opposite? That is, you can control the iPhone device through the computer.

And the answer is Yeah! - But of course, via the jailbreak

Of course, Apple will not allow such programs to be made available through the official software store, and the reason is that the software store programs cannot control the device. Each program works in its own box and cannot attack any other program or any possibility of the device’s capabilities, and thus the effect of any program becomes The operating system is very small and your device is not affected by malware or reduces the efficiency of your device, but with this emphasis from Apple for the benefit of the user, the only resort for developers who want freedom and out of the box is Cydia and there we will find what we are looking for. Of course, as long as we mentioned Cydia, it means that your device must be Jailbroken in order to be able to do this idea, and we will use Cydia to download the program Veency, which will enable you to control the computer via the iPhone.

The following is an explanation of the steps for operating the program:

  • Open Cydia and search for Veency

  • By clicking on Veency you will be able to see the program details, and now click on Install in the top right.
  • Cydia will ask you if you are sure you want to continue and will give you a summary of the changes that will take place

  • Click Confirm, and the program will be downloaded to the iPhone
  • Important informationYou will not find an icon for the program like any other program, as it works in the background and has no icon, so do not tire yourself and search for it and re-download it if you do not find it

With this, we have downloaded the program and left for us to explain how to operate:

Of course you will need to connect the iPhone to a wireless network and know well its IP, as shown in the picture

With this, the iPhone is ready, and then we move to the computer to do the rest:

We will now need a program that will enable the iPhone to connect to the computer and there are many of them, but we will choose TightVNC and you can download it from here The program will be like this:

Put the IP address of the iPhone that you previously saved and click on Connect

A confirmation message will appear on the iPhone asking if you allow this connection or not. Click on Accept

Thus, the connection will soon take place, and you will immediately see a live picture from the iPhone device on the computer and you can control it however you like

And with this, we have finished explaining the program and its operating method.

The great thing is that you will find a mouse cursor on the iPhone screen after the connection to your computer is activated, as if the iPhone has become controlled by the mouse.

Remember, if you want to click the HOME button, just use the right mouse button

This app is great if you want to write a long message or want to check something on your iPhone in the next room. But unfortunately, with all these advantages, you cannot enjoy the full features of the iPhone, such as multi-touch, as you will not be able to use more than one finger to zoom in or out of pictures, for example, also the control is somewhat slow and not as smooth as actually using the iPhone.

Warning: The VNC protocol is not safe, and although no one can link to your device without your permission, as you have seen, it is preferable to delete the program if it is not used.

 

We hope that we have succeeded in presenting this method and that the jailbreakers will be able to try it. We did not try the method on an iPad, but it should work.

Tell us how to benefit from this feature, and did this method work for you?
