FAQ
Android questions
Iriun Android not connecting via USB
Check USB Debugging is enabled in Developer Options. When you plug in the cable, Android shows an "Allow USB debugging?" prompt — tap Allow. Also make sure you are using a data cable, not a charge-only cable. Try a different USB port on your PC.
USB Debugging not showing in Settings
You need to unlock Developer Options first. Go to Settings → About phone → tap Build number exactly 7 times. The Developer Options menu then appears in Settings (sometimes under System → Developer Options).
Iriun Android camera quality is low
In the Iriun Android app, tap the settings icon and increase the resolution. Higher resolutions work best over USB. On Wi-Fi, stick to 720p for stable performance. The paid version unlocks 1080p.
