How to Mirror Your Android Screen to PC or Mac Without Root
In today’s digital age, we’re always connected to our smartphones. Whether it’s messaging, social media, or business communication, we’re always on our phones. But sometimes it’s more convenient to have our phone’s screen on a larger screen, like our PC or Mac. By mirroring your Android screen to your computer, you can do just that. In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of doing this, without the need to root your phone.
- Use Screen Mirroring Apps:
Several screen mirroring apps allow you to mirror your Android screen to your PC or Mac. Some of the popular apps are ApowerMirror, Scrcpy, and Vysor.
- ApowerMirror offers a user-friendly interface and allows you to control your device through your PC or Mac. You can use the app both wirelessly and with USB connections.
- Scrcpy is a free open-source project that offers low latency and high-quality mirroring, without any shenanigans. The app allows you to control your device through your keyboard and mouse.
- Vysor is another popular choice when it comes to screen mirroring. The app offers a free version, but the premium version provides more features, such as high-quality video and wireless connectivity.
To get started with these apps, you’ll need to download and install them on your PC or Mac, as well as your Android device. You’ll also need to enable USB debugging on your Android device if you haven’t already. To do this, go to your device’s settings, tap on “About phone” or “About device,” find “Build number” and tap it seven times. This will unlock Developer options. From there, go to Developer options and turn on USB debugging.
- Use Chrome Remote Desktop:
Google offers Chrome Remote Desktop for Android users who want to mirror their phone to their PC or Mac. The app is easy to use and requires both devices to be connected to the internet. Here’s how to use it:

- Use Mirroring360:
Mirroring360 is another app that allows you to mirror your Android screen to your PC or Mac. It offers a free trial, but you’ll have to pay for the full version to use it long term. The app uses Wi-Fi connections to stream your Android device’s screen to your PC or Mac.
