Group control & batch operations

Once you select multiple devices, the toolbar's batch operations act on all selected devices at once — one action, everyone affected.

How to enter batch mode

  1. Click the area outside a card's screen to select the device (blue highlighted border); you can select multiple in a row;
  2. Or use the toolbar's "Select all" to select every visible device in one click (works great with group filtering);
  3. The top status row shows "N selected."

Batch operations at a glance

OperationDescription
Batch installChoose an APK file on the computer and install it to all selected devices. An older installed version is force-overwritten with the version you chose, keeping every device on the same version
Batch push filesSend a computer file to all selected devices (saved to the phone's Download folder by default)
Batch screenshotAll selected devices take a screenshot at the same time, saved to your computer
Batch uninstallEnter an app package name to uninstall it from all selected devices

Each device's result is reported one by one; a failure is flagged individually and doesn't affect the other devices.

Common batch buttons are grouped in the top toolbar:

Tips

  • Group first, then group-control: build the devices for the same task into a group, then click the group → Select all → batch operation, and it all flows smoothly;
  • Be patient with large batch installs: installing an APK on dozens of phones at once depends on phone performance and network, so it queues up — you can watch the progress on screen;
  • Devices with different resolutions can be group-controlled together; coordinates are scaled proportionally and automatically.

Pre-run checks

Batch actionConfirm first
Batch installAPK source is trusted, version is consistent, and phones allow USB install
Push filesFile names do not contain special characters unsupported by the target app
Batch screenshotDisk space is enough; avoid filling the download folder with repeated screenshots
Batch uninstallPackage name is exact; test on a small set first

Notes

  • Batch uninstall can't be undone — double-check the package name before you run it;
  • Some phones (such as Xiaomi) may show a confirmation dialog on the phone when installing an app; you'll need to enable "Install via USB" or disable "install monitoring"-type settings on the phone.
