Google has released an iOS version of its Chrome Remote Desktop extension.

The new release means you can now remotely access and control your computers from PCs, Macs, Linux, iOS and Android devices, even Chromebooks.

The extension offers simple a screen sharing/ remote assistance option, too.

The underlying technology is relatively basic, with no audio streaming or file sharing, and limited keyboard and scrolling support.

Chrome Remote Desktop is extremely easy to set up, though; once you’ve gone through the initial configuration, it’s just a matter of protecting your devices with a PIN – and if your needs are simple then it’s probably going to be good enough.
