Direct Cloud Phone

Read full description

Direct Cloud Phone lets you control a dedicated cloud-based Android environment directly from your iPhone. Your iPhone displays a full Android home screen with gestures, settings, and app installation. It works like a separate β€œsecond device” for social media, accounts, testing, and work β€” without mixing anything with your personal phone. Looking for a virtual Android device, a remote smartphone for rent, a second phone for multiple accounts, or a way to access Instagram, Facebook, Telegram, TikTok, and other services that may be unavailable in your region? Direct Cloud Phone runs in European data centers and provides a dedicated public IP address from the selected country β€” without requiring a separate VPN app on your iPhone. WHY YOU NEED IT Access Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Discord, X (Twitter), Viber, SoundCloud, Speedtest, Roblox, YouTube, Telegram, and other social networks using a clean IP address from Germany or Singapore A second Android device alongside your iPhone β€” for work, travel, or study without carrying another physical phone Multiple accounts: keep separate profiles and messengers isolated from each other without putting your main account at risk A backup phone when your primary device is out of battery or unavailable Multiple cloud devices under one account WHAT YOU CAN DO Remotely control a full Android device from your iPhone screen Use social networks, messengers, browsers, and email just like on a regular smartphone Restart the device, change its configuration, and renew access Manage multiple slots and devices from one application Protect access with a PIN code, account security features, and new-login notifications ACCESS WITHOUT BORDERS Your Cloud Phone runs in a data center located in another country. Websites and applications running on the remote device see the IP address of that data center rather than the IP address of your mobile carrier. This allows you to access social networks and services that may be unavailable in your region directly inside the Android environment β€” without installing a separate VPN application on your iPhone and without changing the settings of your personal device. HOW IT WORKS Create a cloud device, choose a region (Germany or Singapore), and select a configuration Purchase access through In-App Purchase Tap β€œConnect” β€” the Android screen will begin streaming with responsive touch controls Use it like a separate phone: apps, shortcuts, social media accounts, and familiar Android settings Renew your access on time β€” if the service is not renewed, the environment and all stored data will be permanently deleted and cannot be recovered MULTIPLE DEVICES Use several independent Android environments under one account: keep personal social media separate from work accounts, a test build separate from production, or a client profile separate from your own. Subscription periods, available slots, and plans are displayed before payment. Switching between devices takes just one tap. SECURITY Account access is protected using modern security mechanisms. The application includes PIN protection and notifications about suspicious activity. We recommend using unique passwords for third-party services and following their respective terms of use. TRANSPARENT SERVICE DESCRIPTION Cloud Phone is a cloud-based Android environment with remote access and its own public IP address in another country. It is not a VPN tunnel running on your device and it is not a physical handset. Streaming quality depends on the speed and stability of your internet connection. Some third-party applications may restrict or limit their functionality in cloud environments according to their own policies. SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD AND DATA The paid access period is shown before purchase. If access is not renewed before expiration, the cloud environment and all data stored on it will be permanently deleted without the possibility of recovery. Please renew your access in advance if you need to keep your data.
