I’ve never heard of TeamViewer being used for anything but refund scams and the like.

I used to use it for remote management of my personal computer until Teamviewer flagged cookie clicker as commercial software and locked my account.

I use it to become the remote tech support person whenever my dad has trouble using his phone lol

You can use it for PHONES?! That’s a pretty dope use case actually.

I know a professional software that has it bundled for support calls.
