You must have been stuck in a situation at least once where you want to access something from your other Android phone or your PC, but the device is not physically accessible. In that case, you call your friend or a family member and guide them to open the files and folders that you want to check at that moment. This can be highly time-consuming if that file is located deep in your phone and maybe the other person fails to understand your instructions.
The advancement in technology has made everything possible in recent times. With the availability of such apps that can clone the screen of one phone on the other one, you can view their screen remotely without even physical access to that phone. And once you mirror the phone screen, you guide the other person easily as to where they need to head to in order to achieve a particular task on their phone. So let’s see in this detailed article the list of best Android to Android screen mirroring apps and how they work.

Mirror Android phone screen with AnyDesk
The best and one of the easiest ways to clone one phone screen on the other is using the AnyDesk app. This app is available on Play Store for free and is quite easy to install and use. Other than Android devices, you can also use the AnyDesk app on iPhone, macOS, Windows, and Linux. So basically, whatever operating system you use, the services of the AnyDesk app can be savored everywhere. Let’s see how the app works for Android.
1. Open the Play Store app on your phone and search for the AnyDesk app. Download the app once you find it.
2. Once the app is downloaded, open it. You will see the privacy policy of the app on the next page and you can read it if you want. Tap on the OK option to accept the privacy policy.
3. In order to control the device remotely, you need to activate a plugin in the AnyDesk app. Do that by tapping on OK.
4. You will now be headed to the Accessibility settings on your phone where you need to select the AnyDesk Control Service AD1 and then toggle on the button.
5. While the battery optimization settings are enabled for an app, it might not work properly, the same goes for AnyDesk. So on the next page, you need to disable the battery optimization for the AnyDesk app by tapping on OK. You can verify the battery optimization disabled by going to phone settings and selecting the AnyDesk app.
6. Now you are on the home page of the app. In the exact same way, you need to install AnyDesk on the other Android phone for which you want to mirror the screen.
7. Once the app is installed on both Android phones, you need to put the unique AnyDesk address that you see on the top of the second phone in the Remote Address box of the first phone and tap on the arrow button. A notification will be sent to the second phone that needs to be accepted in order to finally mirror the screen of that phone on your smartphone.

Screen mirroring is made easy with the ApowerMirror app for Android. Other than Android phones, you can use this app to clone the screen of your iOS and PC devices as well.

Once the scanning is done, you will be able to see the screen of the second phone on your device.

After tapping on the Call option, you need to give certain permissions to the app and once that’s done, the screen will successfully be mirrored. The recording sync speed of the Screenshare app is quite impressive. You don’t need to wait for much to see the actions taken on the second phone.
