Switch Control
The first option you have is to use the Switch Control features added in iOS 10.
This limits usability as this is an interface intended for users with limited mobility as well as certain disabilities.
Remote Screen Viewer
Another option is the use of a remote screen viewer like TeamViewer QuickSupport.
This doesnt allow remote control though just viewing.
Someone with physical access to the iPad must perform actions.
Furthermore, the software does not support recent iOS versions its the least attractive of the three options.
It allows the user to configure a switch to control an iOS rig.
The activation of the switch or switches can be configured to perform a wide range of tasks.
One example task is to control another gear.
Next, you gotta configure a switch.
To do this bring up the controls app and go to Accessibility > Switch Control.
initiate the Switch Control prefs.
For example, select: Camera, Left Head Movement, and Select Item.
Now, once you enable Switch Control, areas of the screen will be highlighted one by one.
Once a selection has been made, a small popup window will appear with some options.
The Switch Control popup window.
One of the options that can be in this popup bubble, is the ability to control another machine.
To get to the option you must ensure the prerequisites are met.
The two devices must be configured with the same AppleID and be on the same Wi-Fi online grid.
Further in the machine options should be an option to Use Other machine.
Once a gadget is found, select it with your switch to connect.
The TeamViewer QuickSupport app allows iOS users using iOS11 and later to broadcast their screen to others.
The instructions are simple to follow and the ID is prominently visible.
Using Veency
The third and final method to remotely control an iPad is to use Veency.
Development of Veency, appears to have been halted as the latest supported jailbroken iOS version is 8.1.
It can also be difficult to get a jailbreak that works for your specific operating system.
The Veency app, on the Cydia store.
Assuming you have a fully set up jailbroken iPad, you gotta install Veency from the Cydia Appstore.
Veency is free to install and is included in the default Cydia repositories.
The password setting can be found in the Setting app under parameters > Veency.
Here you’re able to activate the service, enable a cursor and set the password.
Configure a password for Veency.
Hackers will venture to gain access and will likely eventually succeed.
This page will show your private IP address.
VNC Viewer has a client available for a large range of operating systems.
In VNC Viewer, you should probably enter the IP address of the iPad you want to connect to.
Overall, remote access to iOS devices is difficult as Apple has chosen not to support it.
These scenarios all come with drawbacks, youve just have to choose the scenario that fits your requirements.
