Connecting phones

The Hub talks to phones through Android's debugging bridge. Turn on Developer options on each phone first (Settings → About phone → tap Build number seven times).

With a cable (USB debugging)

1. On the phone: Developer options → USB debugging on.
2. Plug the phone in and unlock it.
3. On the phone, tap Allow on Allow USB debugging? (tick Always allow from this computer).

The phone appears on the Fleet page within seconds.

Over Wi-Fi (Wireless debugging, Android 11+)

1. In the app: Fleet → Add phone → Pair over Wi-Fi.
2. On the phone: Developer options → Wireless debugging → Pair device with QR code, and scan the code the app shows — or use Pair with pairing code and type the code into the app.

By address

If a phone already listens on the network (for example after adb tcpip), use Add phone → By address and enter its IP address and port.

Allow automation

Watching and controlling a phone yourself works straight away. For workflows and AI, allow automation on the phone once: open the phone → Details → Automation. The Hub installs a small helper on the phone for reading screens.

Many phones

There is no limit on how many phones the Hub manages; your plan sets how many are shown and controlled at a time. With many phones, use a powered USB hub or Wi-Fi, and keep phones charged. Team plans can connect phones attached to other computers through gateways.
