Software applications on Apple’s mobile operating system that enable users to access and control a computer from a remote location. For instance, an individual might use an iPad to connect to a work computer, accessing files and running programs as if physically present at the desktop.
This capability offers significant advantages, including enhanced mobility, increased productivity, and the ability to provide remote support. Historically, such applications were initially limited in functionality and performance. Technological advancements have led to sophisticated applications offering robust features and seamless user experiences, becoming essential tools for professionals and individuals needing access to their computers from various locations.
