How to Check Multi Control on Samsung Galaxy A57

Multi control lets one keyboard and mouse move between this phone, a Galaxy tablet and a Galaxy PC — you can type, copy and drag files across their screens. This guide only checks whether it is switched on: on this phone it is already On, and nothing is changed. The recording was made with dark mode on, and the Samsung account email at the bottom of the last screenshot is blurred for privacy.

Every screenshot below is taken from the actual recording on this device — no stock images.

Before you start

Multi control only works between Galaxy devices signed in to the same Samsung account and connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Checking the switch changes nothing — you can look and back out safely.

Check Multi control is On

The Multi control page opens with the switch On — the feature is active on this phone. The bottom of the page shows the Samsung account your other Galaxy devices must share; that email address is blurred in this screenshot.

Good to know

If the switch is Off here, tap it once to turn Multi control on — each device you want to use it with needs the same switch on in its own settings.
The phone, tablet and PC must be on the same Wi-Fi network and the same Samsung account; if a device does not appear, one of those two does not match.
