Since the release of the TeamViewer QuickSupport app for iOS for iOS 11, it is generally possible to share your iOS screen via TeamViewer.
The screensharing allows supporters to provide the best possible support for iPhone and iPad users as they can see exactly what’s happening on the device screen and can guide users better on solving issues on their device.
Teamviewer QuickSupport on your Apple iPad or iPhone does not allow remotely controlling the device, it only allows you to share your screen.
TeamViewer 14 and iOS 12
Since the launch of TeamViewer 14 and iOS 12 the screensharing solution has become even better as you can start the broadcasting with one tap inside the QuickSupport app.
