Control multiple Android phones from one PC

Prepare each phone

1. Open Settings → About phone and tap Build number seven times to unlock Developer options.
2. In Developer options, turn on USB debugging.
3. Connect the phone with a data-capable USB cable. Phone farm boxes already have debugging enabled.

Connect them in the browser

1. Open PhoneFarm in Chrome, Edge or Opera.
2. Click Add USB phones, pick a phone, then tap Always allow on the phone’s screen.
3. Repeat for each phone. They appear as live tiles and reconnect automatically next time.

Do one thing on every phone

• Sync control: select phones, switch on Sync and use any phone’s big screen — taps, swipes and typing go to all of them, scaled to each screen size.
• Batch jobs: install APKs, send files, run ADB commands or take screenshots on the whole selection with per-phone results.
• Automation: record an action once and replay it with loops and random pauses, or write a short script:

await phone.home();
await phone.openApp('com.android.chrome');
await phone.sleep(3000);
await phone.swipe(0.5, 0.75, 0.5, 0.3, 300);

How many phones per computer?

USB bandwidth and video decoding are the limits. A 20-phone box runs well on most laptops; with powered hubs and a desktop CPU, 40–80 phones are realistic at 360–480p preview quality. Screens that aren’t visible pause automatically.
