PS Remote Access

About this app

When an issue occurs on an Android device, an authorized support person can initiate a secure remote support session to view and interact with the device in real time. This remote session enables the support person to see the device screen and operate it as if they were physically present, allowing them to open applications, navigate system settings, diagnose issues, and perform guided troubleshooting steps efficiently.

To enable full remote control functionality, the application leverages the Android Accessibility Service permission. This permission allows the support person to perform user-like interactions on the device, including tapping, swiping, scrolling, and triggering key-based input events within applications currently displayed on the screen. Through this service, the support person can also perform remote text entry and send key events directly from their keyboard to the controlled device, enabling faster and more accurate configuration and issue resolution.

The Accessibility Service is activated only for the duration of the remote session and is strictly limited to facilitating remote control actions requested by the support person. The application does not record, store, or transmit any user data, keystrokes, or screen content beyond what is required for the active session. No background monitoring occurs, and the service does not operate outside the context of an ongoing, authorized remote support session.

If the Accessibility Service permission is not enabled, the application continues to support view-only mode, allowing the support person to see the device screen but preventing any remote interaction or control. This ensures that remote access capabilities are transparent, controlled, and aligned with enterprise security and privacy requirements.
