- Download Airdroid application from Playstore.
- After installing give ROOT access to the app otherwise the mirror service won’t work.
- Sign Up for an account via email or Gmail or Facebook etc.
- Download Airdroid Desktop client from this LINK. (Scroll down to the bottom of the page and choose from Windows or Mac)
- After downloading install it and sign in using the account you created before.
- Now comes the fun part. Click on the binoculars icon which will open a new window and load the interface of your smartphone.
Note: Your smartphone and PC must be connected to the same Wifi Network - You can totally control your android smartphone and use whatsapp from PC. Type using your PC’s keyboard and tap using mouse click.
This mirror service is still in Beta so it has bugs. Sometimes it may stop responding and you have to relaunch it. Also use it slowly as it will not be able to handle quick usage. But other than that, its fun. Enable the Mirror notification service to get notifications right on your desktop.
To do this tap options -> Settings -> Notification Mirror Service -> Turn it on.
You can also use other apps including camera and don’t even have to pick up your smartphone. Using Airdroid you can transfer files from PC to Smartphone easily without any wires. This desktop client replaces the task done previously using the browser.
