Remote Desktop, while not as quick to set up as something like TeamViewer, gives a really smooth experience that’s well worth the work if you have a mostly-Windows household. So, we’ll be using the Remote Desktop server built into Windows Pro and Enterprise and the Microsoft Remote Desktop client for iOS 8 or later. Admins can now connect to Macs running older versions of Apple Remote Desktop Client software without needing to make sure Preferences Security 'Allow communications with older clients (less secure)' is turned on in the admin app. You must be running Apple Remote Desktop Client 3.9.2 or later on the Mac running Apple Remote Desktop.
-->Applies to: iOS 13.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

In Remote Desktop Connection, type the name of the PC you want to connect to (from Step 1), and then select Connect. On your Windows, Android, or iOS device: Open the Remote Desktop app (available for free from Microsoft Store, Google Play, and the Mac App Store), and add the name of the PC that you want to connect to (from Step 1). In the world of remote desktop apps for the iOS ecosystem, Splashtop stands right on top. A cursory look at its accolades gives an idea of how popular the app is: it is Apple’s Top 25 Best-selling iPad apps of all time. Use Microsoft Remote Desktop for iOS to connect to a remote PC or virtual apps and desktops made available by your admin. With Microsoft Remote Desktop, you can be productive no matter where you are.
You can access Windows Virtual Desktop resources from your iOS device with our downloadable client. This guide will tell you how to set up the iOS client.
Install the iOS client
To get started, download and install the client on your iOS device.
Subscribe to a feed
Subscribe to the feed provided by your admin to get the list of managed resources you can access on your iOS device.
Remote Desktop Ios
To subscribe to a feed:
- In the Connection Center, tap +, and then tap Add Workspace.
- Enter the feed URL into the Feed URL field. The feed URL can be either a URL or an email address.
- If you use a URL, use the one your admin gave you. Normally, the URL is https://rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com/api/arm/feeddiscovery.
- To use email, enter your email address. This tells the client to search for a URL associated with your email address if your admin configured the server that way.
- To connect through the US Gov portal, use https://rdweb.wvd.azure.us/api/arm/feeddiscovery.
- Tap Next.
- Provide your credentials when prompted.
- For User name, give the user name with permission to access resources.
- For Password, give the password associated with the user name.
- You may also be prompted to provide additional factors if your admin configured authentication that way.
- Tap Save.
After this, the Connection Center should display the remote resources.
Once subscribed to a feed, the feed's content will update automatically on a regular basis. Resources may be added, changed, or removed based on changes made by your administrator.
