The GoToAssist (Remote Support) app provides a streamlined version of Remote Support, which allows you to provide unlimited attended and unattended support sessions from your iOS device.

For more information about the iOS device requirements to use the GoToAssist (Remote Support) App for iOS, please see the System requirements for agents.

Agents can use the GoToAssist (Remote Support) app to host support sessions with customers running Windows, Mac, or using an Android device. For more information, see the System requirements for customers.

Download the GoToAssist (Remote Support) App for iOS

Note: Please see the Mobile feature comparison for information about features available during these support sessions.

    • Direct Windows or Mac customers to click the support URL in the Invitation email to be directly launched into session, or go to www.fastsupport.com and enter the support key.
    • Direct Android customers to download the GoToAssist (Customer) app and enter the support key.
  4. Once the customer joins the support session, you will immediately see their screen.

  • Join a collaborative session by tapping the Join Session icon .
  • Adjust performance settings for better speed or appearance (based on your connectivity) by tapping the Settings icon .
