    It's been 6 months since the last post on this thread. Any updates on a replacement/update of the Unity Remote?

    Hi Xenerade, we have done an update to the google play app ( back in November).
    And also added a fix for connectivity in the core at the same time.
    Hopefully this fixes most of the connectivity issues.
    If you still have issues with it please reply here.

    No Issues with connectivity on my part. Would just be nice if the game shown on the remote could take up the entire screen as it is now just shown inside a unchangeable square.

    Edit: Touch input does also not work. (Using UI Toolkit with the built in actions that supports touch)

    What phone are you using for the remote ? ( I will ask our QA to reproduce the issue)

    Hi @Xenerade, thanks for reaching out!

    I've created a bug report for first issue you mentioned (Unity Remote not taking up entire screen) and forwarded it to devs to investigate, you can follow the progress here (might take a bit for the link to start working).

    As for touch input not working - I wasn't able to repro, everything worked fine on my end. Seems like this might have more to do with UI Toolkit than touch input, but can't say for sure without proper investigation. Could you please report a bug with your project attached where you're encountering this issue? Please post the bug ID here when you do that, so we can check it out quicker.

    Edit: The link you provided did not work.
    Edit 2: Nevermind, just read that it could take some time to work.

    Hi there,

    We've pushed a refresh to the Google and Apple stores for Unity Remote that should fix the fullscreen issues.

    We're also going to put some time into solving some of the bigger issues (Input stuff) going forward!

    So what's the current status of Unity Remote? Is it still marked as deprecated? And if so, is there an alternative being developed?

    Thank you!

    There is the AR Foundation Remote plugin, used by thousands of happy developers :)
