While to transmit what you see on the phone screen on a TV or computer there are numerous ways to do it without problems, to share the smartphone screen on another mobile phone there are certainly fewer solutions and it takes an external application.
Speaking of Android smartphones and iPhones, we can share the screen of a smartphone to see it on other mobile phones with a very popular application that many surely keep already installed, namely Skype .
The video calling platform Microsoft Skype has added in a recent update of its app for Android and for iPhone, the function of sharing the screen during a video call.
Since it is independent of the operating system and since Skype works on PCs and phones, it does not matter which device the person receiving the screen transmission uses, which can be any smartphone or PC. You can then see the screen of a smartphone on a PC or vice versa and you can also share the screen from one phone to another using the group video call function, at no cost.

You can then start a video call with one or more friends by touching the camera icon in the upper right corner of the chat. When the other person answers, you can touch the three-dot button at the bottom right of the call interface to find the Share screen option. At that point, everything you see on your mobile phone will also be visible to people participating in the video call. To end screen sharing, you can touch the blue Stop sharing button.
Recall that Skype is a very powerful app and although it has been replaced by many people with more immediate apps such as Whatsapp and Facebook Messenger, it includes many advanced communication tools including the integrated translator that can transcribe the audio of a call in time real and view subtitles in real time, the ability to record calls and video calls and much more.
Those who do not have it can download Skype for free for Android and iPhone.
Unlike Skype, TeamViewer is not a video calling app and its configuration is certainly more complicated since you need to download two apps: TeamViewer and TeamViewer QuickSupport. This allows you to instantly generate a unique ID for the device and share the screen without having to create a TeamViewer account.
From QuickSupport, you can then touch the button that sends the ID to another person with the link that will then serve, using the Teamviewer app, to view the screen remotely. So whoever shares the screen then uses Quicksupport to share the link that is used by those who have to access the screen of the other phone. Both apps are free and can be downloaded from these links:
TeamViewer for Android and iPhone
TeamViewer QuickSupport for Android and iPhone
Instead of transmitting the entire screen, Squad (only on Android) also gives the possibility to focus a single app, without necessarily showing everything that happens on the phone.
Mimicr has a voice chat option to talk to the recipient while looking at the same screen together.
