Control Center and Sync

The Control Center is a window with every phone online, live: what you do there you can do to one phone, to the phones you tick, or — with Sync — to all of them by doing it once.

The Control Center: its functions on the left, the farm on the right. The highlighted phone is Sync's main phone.

Open it

Choose Control Center on the Devices page. Each tile is a phone's screen as live video. Click a tile to open that phone in a window of its own, where you tap, swipe and type with your mouse and keyboard, and use Back, Home and Recent apps under the screen. A run started anywhere in WarpX Phone opens the Control Center so you can watch it.

On the selected phones

Tick the phones to act on, then use the functions on the left:

  • Run automation runs a workflow on each ticked phone — one run per phone.
  • Type types into whatever field is focused on each phone.
  • Open app opens a package, e.g. com.shopee.vn, on each.
  • Install APK picks an .apk on this computer and installs it on each.
  • Screenshot saves each phone's screen in a folder you pick.
  • An adb shell command, run on each phone. Use it with care: it does exactly what it says on every ticked phone.
  • Back, Home and Recent apps on each.

Sync: one phone leads, the rest follow

  1. Tick the phones that should follow.
  2. Turn on Sync and choose the main phone. Its tile is driven in the Control Center itself.
  3. Tap, swipe, press keys and type on the main phone. The ticked phones do the same, at the same spot of their own screens — touches travel as shares of the screen, so a follower with another resolution is touched where you meant.

Sync copies what you do, not what the apps show: if one phone has a pop-up the others do not, the same touch lands on different things. For anything longer than a few steps, a workflow that finds elements is the sturdier choice.

Display

Picture chooses Light — for many phones or Sharp — costs the PC more; Tile size and Sort by (Slot, Name or Battery, lowest first) arrange the grid. Phones the watchdog is resting are marked Resting.
