Using NoMachine to remote into a mobile device

[gbelmont22]

I apologize if this has already been asked and answered somewhere else.  I did some cursory googling and read a bit on the web site but did not see the answer jump out at me anywhere.

Basically, it is obvious that you can use NoMachine to remote from your mobile device (client) to a desktop like Windows/Linux/Mac (server).  But does NoMachine support connections in the other direction?  In my particular use case, I have both an Android and iOS tablet I use for testing my apps.  I find running my test builds locally on actual hardware to be ‘better’ than using emulators.  But I would like to ‘remote into’ the mobile device to control its ‘desktop’ from my PC.

I suppose I could just download NoMachine and install it and see what happens – but maybe if this is not currently supported, someone might explain why, and if there are any plans for future support?

Thanks in advance!

Having a NoMachine server for Android could be a possibility to allow customers to receive remote assistance on their device, for example, but that use case represents a very small percentage of our customers. It’s something we have evaluated but not officially added to our roadmap yet, given that we have always focused on bringing the full computing capacity of a “remote desktop” to the user. So, it’s something we’d like to do, but for the moment remote mobile device support is not currently a priority.

Yes please, this is something I would very much like to see happening.
