If you want to see the screen of the Android smartphone on the PC there are several applications including the best one is Airdroid (by downloading the PC program), with the AirMirroring function. AirDroid is basically a file transfer app which also has a wireless wifi screen mirroring function. The function that allows you to see the phone screen on your PC allows you to manage calls and message notifications, but is only complete in the pro version, where you can also open the camera remotely, activate / deactivate the integrated functions and much more . If instead you want a completely free solution, there is another application that installs on your computer (Windows, Linux or Mac) as an application for Chrome . The only thing you need is a USB cable to connect the PC to the phone (the one used to recharge the phone is fine), because it does not work in wifi.

Vysor
First of all, therefore, you must download and install the Vysor app on your Android smartphone.At this point, open Google Chrome on the PC and install the Vysor application.
Open the list of apps in Chrome and start Vysor. Press the Find Devices button and select your phone. If nothing is found, as it is written on the first page of the application, you must first install the ADB drivers on Windows.
On Android, the USB debugging option must be activated from the developer menu. To bring up the developer menu, go to Settings> Phone info, scroll down until you find the build number and touch them several consecutive times until the Developer Options menu message appears. Then go to Settings -> Developer options and activate USB debugging. Then connect the phone to the computer via the USB cable.
Once the phone is found, just click on its name to create the connection and see the smartphone screen on the PC.
A pop-up should appear on the phone to confirm computer access. If you do not see it, try again to unplug and reattach the cable and if a notification about the media transfer connection appears, tap it and turn off the options. From the Vysor home screen you can remove or use the automatic connection option which shows the phone screen as soon as it is connected to the computer.
There is really nothing else to do and the phone can be used from the PC desktop in real time, using the mouse and keyboard to open and interact with applications . The USB cable ensures a stable and fast connection, without any delays that could occur when using a wifi app such as Airdroid. You can then write SMS, write messages on Whatsapp, use Facebook from the app, open photos and anything you want.
Mirror
A different way of making this type of connection is to see on the PC screen what you see on the phone screen . In this case you cannot use the phone from the PC, but you will see what appears on the Android mobile phone, in real time, on the computer desktop (Windows, Mac or Linux). For this type of connection, the USB cable is not required and it is sufficient for the phone and computer to be connected to the same Wifi network .This time you need to download a new app on your smartphone and, precisely, ApowerMirror . The great thing about ApowerMirror is that it not only shows the phone's screen on the PC, but also allows you to take screenshots and recordings of what you see. Most of the features are, however, only available in the premium version of ApowerMirror.

The desktop client also generates a QR code and a PIN code, so you can scan the QR code or enter the PIN in the LetsView app on the phone to connect. Once the devices are connected, the smartphone screen will be displayed in real time in a Windows 10 window.Other ways to see the Android screen on PC
