Main Features

Vysor is software that can share, view, and mirror your Android and iOS device to a PC. Before using the software, you need to download and install the software on your computer and device. In addition, Vysor requires you to use a USB Data cable since you are not a Vysor Pro user.

But if you are one of the Vysor pro users, you can use the wireless mirroring. Therefore, you will no longer need a USB Data cable. Moreover, the disadvantage that we can say about Vysor is it is not safe and secure to use.

Why did we conclude in that statement? Because before using the Vysor software on your computer and the Vysor application on your devices, you need to set up your device and enable USB Debugging.

So, what will happen if you enable USB debugging? Your device is not protected, and anyone can control your device, and your device will be prone to a privacy leak. Overall, it has nice features that you can use. Please see the below:
