Viewer on mobile devices

When you open the xCloudPhone dashboard on a phone or tablet, the viewer automatically switches to a touch-optimized layout. The viewer takes the whole screen, the video auto-rotates to match your phone's orientation, and all controls are tucked into a floating button plus an overlay control panel.

Floating button

The main control is a round floating button (with the xCloudPhone logo) pinned to the right or left edge of the screen.

You can drag it up or down along the edge.
You can drag it sideways, but on release it snaps to the nearer edge (left or right) — you can't park it in the middle of the screen.
When the phone rotates, the button auto-snaps back to the right edge.

Tap the button to open the control panel. Tap again to close — the icon morphs between the brand mark and an X to show the panel's state.

Control panel

The control panel slides up as a translucent overlay on top of the video. Top to bottom:

Device icon + session name — a small status dot precedes the name: green (connected), amber (connecting), red (offline). The session note (if set) appears below.
X (Close panel) button — top-right of the header. Closes the panel while keeping the viewer running.

You can also tap the translucent backdrop (outside the panel body) to close the panel.

Quick-control row

Above the tabs is a single row of 6 quick-control buttons:

Refresh — Restarts the video stream without rebooting the cloud phone.
Mute / Unmute — Toggles audio from the cloud phone.
Unlock — Unlocks the cloud phone's lock screen.
Rotate — Switches the cloud phone between portrait and landscape.
Fullscreen — Expands the video area to fill your phone using the browser's fullscreen API. Tap again to exit fullscreen.
Reboot — Opens a confirmation modal to reboot the cloud phone remotely.

Use Fullscreen when you need precise touch input — a larger video area makes it easier to hit the right spot, especially in apps with small UI elements.

Two tabs: Actions and Apps

Below the quick-control row is a tab switcher:

Actions tab

A grid of actions you can run on the cloud phone:

Get clipboard — pulls the cloud phone's clipboard back to your device.
Paste — pastes your device's clipboard into the cloud phone.
Paste custom data — opens a modal to type text and send it to the cloud phone.
Change Info Device — changes the IMEI / device fingerprint (this reboots the device).
Install local APK / Install cloud APK — install an APK from your phone or from your cloud storage.
Import local file / Import cloud file — push a file into the cloud phone.
Proxy — bind a proxy to the active session.
Disconnect proxy — drop the active proxy binding.
Screenshot — capture the cloud phone's screen.
Factory reset — destructive red action; a confirmation modal protects it.

When the viewer is in portrait (not rotated), a search box sits above the grid for fuzzy-matching actions by name (diacritic-insensitive, useful for Vietnamese).

Apps tab

Lists every app installed on the cloud phone. Tap any app to open its menu: Open, Force stop, Clear data, Uninstall.

See App manager in the viewer for details on each option.

Just above the panel footer is a row of three classic Android buttons:

Recent apps — opens the recents view on the cloud phone.
Home — returns to the cloud phone's home screen.
Back — Android back navigation.

At the bottom of the panel is the red Exit viewer button. Tapping it shows a confirmation modal titled "Exit device?" with the message "You will disconnect from this device. You can re-enter from the dashboard." Tap Exit to disconnect, or Stay to keep the viewer.

Close panel vs. Exit viewer

These two actions are different:

Close panel (X in header, or tap outside the panel body) — only hides the control panel. The viewer keeps running, video keeps streaming, the WebRTC connection stays alive.
Exit viewer (red footer button) — disconnects from the cloud phone and closes the viewer. The rental does not end — the cloud phone keeps running on its contract. You can reopen the viewer any time from My Devices.

Tips for mobile use

Recommended browsers: latest Chrome / Firefox on Android, or Safari / Chrome on iOS.
Turn on Fullscreen before precise tasks (gaming, text editing) to get a larger touch area.
Battery and data: video streaming drains the battery and uses data — plug in and use Wi-Fi for long sessions.
Disable auto-rotate at the OS level if you don't want the viewer to flip when you tilt the phone.
