Google today a Chrome Remote Desktop app for iOS, which allows Chrome users to access their Mac or PC desktop computers remotely using an iOS device. Google has had an of the Chrome Remote Desktop app for several months and has finally brought the tool to iOS. To access a PC or Mac remotely with the new app, users will first need to install the on their computer, which is a free download from the Chrome Web Store.
With both the desktop browser app and the iOS app, it’s possible for users to access their computers on an iOS device through the Chrome browser with a few simple taps after verifying through a generated code. Securely access your computers from your iOS device. On each of your computers, set up remote access using the Chrome Remote Desktop app from Chrome Web Store.
Applicationize generates a Google Chrome extension that embeds your favorite web app and places a custom shortcut icon in your app launcher when you install it. Don't worry if that's all nonsense to you — it's dead simple to applicationize a web app: simply enter its URL, download a customized Google Chrome extension, install, and enjoy.
On your iOS device, open the app and tap on any of your online computers to connect.In addition to allowing access from an iOS device with the new app, Google’s Chrome Remote Desktop feature also allows computer-to-computer access, which Google suggests is useful for securely accessing files on one machine from another or giving a friend temporary access to help solve a computer problem. The app can be downloaded from the App Store for free. Do you believe that Apple doesn't spy on you at all?
The proof is it would be all over the news if they did, which they don't, so it hasn't happened. Every little thing that puts the slightest dent in Apple's image as the best tech company in the world (that is how they're viewed whether its true or not - their brand is the most valued in the world) ends up on the front page news. Bendgate, a manufacturing defect that impacted 1 out of 1 M iPhone 6+s, for example. That wouldn't be anywhere in the news at all if it happened with a Samsung (actually, the S5 has a tendency for its screen to shatter in your pants. I've seen it happened on two separate coworkers - so far more prevalent, and yet precisely zero news articles on it).
If you want to make accusations like this, you really should have some evidence. You need to prove something has happened - it'd be retarded for us to have to prove something hasn't happened.
A lot of us here are pretty tech savvy and would be capable of noticing the network traffic that would be generated by our own Apple devices spying on us. And Apple doesn't?
- And Apple doesn't spy on you? Why would Apple spy on you? Whereas Google's sole source of revenue is intelligently serving up ads based on your interests, Apple makes most of their money off of hardware they sell and stuff purchased from their online store.

They don't do much targeted advertising, and they don't sell info on you the way Google does. Furthermore, it's not a conspiracy theory or something that Google spies on you and their users. Google exploits bugs in browsers specifically to track you - there's news on it and they've been sued over it. I just hate that in 2015, companies are still advocating people to access their pictures and work documents with VNC and not through a file manager. I think this is exactly why Apple doesn't offer remote desktop as a 'feature'. They don't like it.
They'd rather you use iCloud to keep your data in sync and access that data via apps that are designed for the device being used, not try to fit your OS X desktop on your iPhone. There are many free VNC viewers for iOS on the App Store and all Macs support remote access through Screen Sharing. I'm not sure why some people here are complaining about Apple not offering these features. So you have to download a third party VNC app. And as for spying, who cares nothing to hide here. And this attitude is precisely why we've gone over the cliff.
FIRST. type chrome://flags in Chrome’s address bar.
